Yeah, but MMY has also said that the war described in the Gita is the resolution between negative and positive forces *within one's own consciousness*. He responded to just such a question during one of his press conferences. So the war which we see where people actually go out and slaughter each other is just pure waking state, and totally unnecessary sin and coarseness. In the conventional sense, there is no such thing as a "moral war". I cannot even concieve of such a thing. Wars are evil and stupid, and have always been so. There is no 'noble sacrifice' or triumph in war. It is all a waste of precious life. Bad karma. Stupidity.
