In the conventional sense, there is no such thing as > a "moral war". I cannot even concieve of such a thing. And you are correct, moral and war are opposites! We agree! But to now act is also karma, the real question is whether is would be a greater sin to act or not act. As MMY says it is not a matter of loss or gain (of life) in the Gita...the real question is Dharma!!

Bad > karma. Stupidity. Again you have negelected the lesson in the Gita, action should not be gauged by loss or gain (of life) of Dharma (duty) it is a higher calling.
