How do you IC explain that CONCORD allows a corp-war without interfering? I thought about this cant really find a good reason, but i know there must be one, right?

CONCORD are in place to preserve the peace and maintain the legal system. Corporation Wars are legaly sanctioned wars, so CONCORD do not interfere. A Bit like, when America went to war with Iraq, they didnt send the Police in to go tell the Republican Guard that they were breaking the law by shooting people. They let the troops go in and shoot them back. CONCORD are pretty much doing the same thing. They stay the hell out of it.

A CONCORD sanctioned war is a legal vendetta. The assumption is, if CONCORD did not grant a legal war, then there resources would be unnecessarily taxed and potentially endangered in preventing pilots from shooting each other. So, they accept payment in return for granting legal rights for pilots to engage each other and save themselves the trouble.

Just like the above posters say, it's a legal means for corps to fight each other. It's covered by the Yulai Conventions.
And anyone who babbles about "bribing CONCORD" to fight a war is just wrong.

Well, the ISK cost is a way to control the wars. CONCORD are basically saying that they won't allow people to prosecute pure vendettas against small corps just because they can - they have to be able to demonstrate (pay) that they are still a profit making corporate venture, hence why the cost scales with the size of the corp/alliance.

the main hole in the system is that it is one way. what would be cool is if the targeted corp could pony up a larger amount of cash and cancel the war dec since it is basicly a bribe to concord so a counter bribe.....

That wouldn't fit with CONCORD's goal of reducing it's overall workload on minor matters. If the corp paid up more cash, it wouldn't stop the first corp from going out and shooting their guys and creating problems for CONCORD or local enforcement agencies.
EDIT: There's also a point that it's likely CONCORD doesn't exist primarily for policing pod pilot corps, but in fact interdicts on behalf of the mega-corps in EVE when they have disputes, probably particularly amongst the Caldari given their culture, and in that they would have major concern since two big corporations shooting it out would lead to stations being nuked and bystanders dying, and CONCORD want to make sure they can keep that under control.
