What's the difference between 'justified' and 'justifiable'?
I guess the anwser should be similar to the difference between 'unjustified' and 'unjustifiable'., which is also what I'd like to know. In addition, I also want to know the difference between 'unwarranted' and 'unjustified'.
Thanks in advance.

Justified means that an action is acceptable.
Justifiable means that an action could be acceptable.
Unwarrented also means that an action is unacceptable but it also suggests that the action is suprising and shocking.

justified = done
justifiable = possible
This can apply to any example of these suffixes. :)
