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.   ------There's a split.  One the one hand it's all a motif, but on the other it's actual life. And in the gap? 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.   ------Pure waking state, the same state which brought you such waking joys as Jimi Hendrix, quaaludes, illicit sex in bathrooms, a wife and family full of secrets, surfing, and goats ;) 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.   -----But they can be fun, shooting some harried skinny kid while cranked on super industrial strength amphetamines while listening to 'Drowning Pool.'  Ever wondered why there are so many helicopter crashes? Best not to judge someone else's waking state.  Lots of people really get off on war. It's just gauche to admit it, just like it's gauche to admit one likes date rape.
