To expand on this, the reasons that are stated my be believed by those stating them, but nevertheless be completely false. Look at what happened when Caerwyn declared war on Astrum. Several players have stated that they believed the reasons they gave, yet they were completely fictitious. Which doesn't mean they were lies, they were just poorly informed or misled.
The reasons for a war will rarely, if ever, be declared by both sides as justified. That would require both sides to be viewing the incident from the same point of view, and both being reasonable and logical. And if that was the case, there probably wouldn't have been a war in the first place.
With the Zuma though, at least with regards to the forgery we got a OOC confirmation about the reason. What I don't recall seeing is if it was the only reason for the attack, or more the straw that broke the camels back.
