I voted for the Civil War (Union) and WWII. They were the only ones that both truly had to be fought, and where the U.S. was clearly in the right morally. The Revolution is justifiable, but one can make a reasonable argument for the British/Loyalist side as well--the conflict was not a clear case of right against wrong. The most clearly indefensible were the Mexican-American and the Iraq wars. The two have a lot in common--both featured the use of weak, trumped up arguments to justify a war that the president and his administration wanted for other reasons. In the Indian wars, of course, the U.S. was generally the aggressor, and therefore in the wrong, as well.
