In regard to the just war claim itself, tradition suggests that there may be three justifications for the recourse to war. These are righting wrong, inflicting punishment and responding to a prior attack. Of these, the infliction of punishment would seem to be the most difficult to support on utilitarian grounds. The usual deontological justification is inevitably backward looking and the application of punishment uncertain (both as regards the guilt and the identity of the punished party). It is ... very likely to be productive of further violent episodes as punishment is sought for perceived prior wrongful punishments. For all that, there are contemporary cases where the claimed justification for acts of war amounts to a claim of just punishment.

WASHINGTON — Defense Department strategists are building a case for a massive bombing of Iraq as a new phase of President Bush's war against terrorism, congressional and Pentagon sources say. Proponents of attacking Iraq, spearheaded by Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, are now arguing privately that still-elusive evidence linking Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's regime to the terrorist attacks Sept. 11 is not necessary to trigger a military strike.

Connected with the proportionality principle is the demand that recourse to war must show some prospect of success. Again the logic of this is that unless there is such a prospect the inevitable losses will not be offset by morally overriding gains. A recognition of the enormous waste of war ... lies behind the requirement that it should be a last resort, that all alternative means of achieving the desired end should have been exhausted before recourse is had to violence. This principle may also be taken to reflect the fact that violent means are in any case uncertain means and that the consequences of war are very frequently not what those who initiate them anticipate.

Gamers enter the game as a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically modified “splicers” and deadly security systems, players have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. No encounter ever plays out the same and no two gamers will play BioShock the same way.
