Well that explains why the Byzantine Empire fell to the Moslems, and why Hitler found the Balkans such easy pickings, and why those who do believe in a just war had to rescue the people in the land of the EO during WWII

Exactly!

Now men can be manipulated and led in the wrong direction. But to deny there is such a thing as a just war is actually to deny that evil exists. We've seen already how the EO questions even the existence of Satan, so we shouldn't be surprised they question the notion of a just war.

Christ does not tell us to do nothing in the face of evil. He tells us to resist it and to defend the Gospel and to rest assured the Holy Spirit will provide what we need...

"And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say." -- Luke 12:11-12

Your ignronce is regrettable too. Show me where does the EO Church question the existence of Satan? In fact, show me where I questioned the existence of Satan! And I will show you that the whole thing just went right oevr your head.

You find 'just war' in that quote? He is saying don't let others talk nonsense, but say something in return.
