1. To shift the contents of a register or a field so that the significant character at the specified end of the data is at a particular position.
2. To align text horizontally or vertically so that the first and last characters of every line, or the first and last line of the text, are aligned with their corresponding margins.
Note 1: In English, text may be justified left, right, or both. Left justification is the most common.

By replacing the word "rationalized" for justified, the debate on going to war takes on a different meaning, for it eliminates the need for the action to be seen through a moral or ethical paradigm.
A war being justified should be the same as a war being just, but that is not the case when a society has removed war from the realm of ethics, religion, or morality.
In short, war is justified only when waged by legitimate authority, as a last resort, and with a reasonable chance for success.
