You do not always pick your own battles, however you do pick how to fight them. That is why even democracies have armies ready to go to war.
How to fight a war is never a good vs. bad situation - war is always a balance between two evils - destruction and sacrifice - and the more you fight, the more destruction and sacrifice you will be willing to accept. So war is evil - war is a downward spiral for modern civilization, but again we do not always pick our own battles - only how to fight them.
