Well, all war kills civilians, innocent or otherwise, meaning your view

would

essentially mean no offensive actions in a defensive was would be moral.

A war fought entirely on the battlefield would perhaps come close. A trial of arms by champion would be even better. Think of it - don't you think governments would immediately find a way to pursue policies of peaceful coexistence and co-operation if they knew that any dispute would *have* to be settled by a fight-unto-death between all the members of one government fighting all the members of another? At any rate, it's definitely better than having armies kill each other and civilians.

Well that's more or less kind of pacifist-anarchist approach to war that I... approve :) And think about it - without army there are no civilians
