"The war to end a war" Do you agree to the previous sentence?

Without US intervention in World War 2, Europe would have remained under Nazi rule for an indefinite period of time.
There is such a thing as a 'just war'.
To the Kurds of Northern Iraq, the war to remove Saddam Hussein and his sons is still seen as the right thing to have done.

It's nothing more than a catchphrase made famous by H.G. Wells when he was referring to World War I. I believe David Lloyd George had it right when he said: This war, like the next war, is a war to end war. The war to end a war is just a delusion to make people believe that whatever war a country is fighting is the war to end the war. We all know that war will never end as long as humans are alive to keep fighting.
I originally misread the question, but my statement still stands.

Actually this quote was said by US president at that time Woodrow Wilson when the Germans kept engaging in a submarine warfare against UK and when it refused to stick to the laws of the league of nations at that time. So Woodrow Wilson declared the US intervention in WWI and he justified that saying two things:
1- The war to end a war.
2- The war to save democracy for the world.
And he didn't either end the war nor saved democracy, he withdrawn as soon as possible because US at that time was no match to the German forces. And to be honest, US at both WWI and WWII only cared about its economy and currency revival, nothing more nothing less.
