A) war is always wrong because in the deliberate killing of human beings it violates a fundamental right-the right to life.
B) war is never justified,because it always produces more bad than good.The catastrophic loss of life and the widespread destruction of war can never offset whatever political or material gains are achieved;riches,land,oil,or power cannot outweigh the carnage.
C) war inevitably leads to more war,and multiple wars can never outweigh the good that might come out of so many conflicts.
D) the loss of even one life in a war is so catastrophically bad that no amount of good resulting from the war could counterbalance it.
