I just remember from my latin lessons the expression: "Bellum iustum" ==> Justified War

The Romans made treaties with all other "urb-states" and then the manoeuvred the others into war among them, so that "Rome" needed to intervene and then claim new territorial rights over the defeated ones...

In a way it just seems the same with the US and Iraq now....
