But I believe in some instances judgements have to be made for example between good and evil. Do you believe in a just war? I believe one has to take a stand against evil and therefore make a judgement. For instance, the allies were right to fight Hitler and the Nazis.

There is no rush.
To answer your question I do not think there is any such thing as a just war - even if the true hidden hands that manipulated the world wars into being were revealed.
I am not inclined to take attacks on my person well, and I have not found the strength to turn the other cheek in the past. Practical survival sometimes has to trump spirituality because of that weakness. I am however developing a deepening trust that the universe - that system that supports me and takes care of me, allows me to experience will take care of me and keep me safe - if I don't deviate from the plan intended for me and defined by me pre-incarnation. Psalm 91 refers to something about the idea I am trying to express in a poetic and allegorical way.
Matthew 5:43-: "But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."
That's enough biblical quoting from me.
War is a gross distortion - I maintain there is no just war.
