There is no excuse for war, none whatever, and whatever the wrong which your nation might be doing to mine - short of war - my nation would be in the wrong if it started a war so as to redress it.  A murderer, for instance, is not allowed to plead that his victim was rich and oppressing him - so why should a nation be allowed to?  Wrongs have to be redressed by reason, not by force.
