>We just need to solve the question of which wars are just, first, I guess, so to enforce our no vehicles bylaw we’ll have to solve all of politics.

That one is easy. Just war is the one that bring many benefits to me and my friends (well, whatever you call my social intimate circle), while destroying those other evil dudes that cast some shadow on my stable predictable world resources exploitation, all that only at the cost of nameless plebeian peons.

Or said otherwise, war is unjust when it negatively affects "the mighty me who can unleash propaganda to manufacture consent toward whatever fits my agenda".
