Bible Question (short): Is war biblical?

Question (full): Is war biblical?

First off:
Probably it seems ridiculous to you but I've been thinking about this topic for almost a year now and I'm still looking for statisfying answers.
So please look into this thread again if you answer it in case new questions or arguments come up.

Once again the basic question: Is war or violence in general biblical under any circumstances? I came to the conclusion that it is not, but in the USA almost all Christians vote for the Republicans (War in Iraq) and also my former church believed that war and violence are biblical under certain circumstances. Hopefully somebody will be able to help me in this forum.....
