(Before It's News)

 
The Justification for a “Just War” from both the legal perspective as well as the moral perspective is an important one as it relates to the actions and intentions of III Patriots. We propose and struggle for the return of our Republic and society to the standard of “Rightful Liberty” as espoused by our nation's founders and stated so eloquently by Thomas Jefferson: “Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.”

An Ancient Teaching: 
The Church’s teaching on just war developed very early. St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was the first Christian writer to describe the four conditions that must be met in order for a war to be just, but the roots of just-war theory go back even to non-Christian Romans, particularly the Roman orator Cicero.
