Encouragement to war may have been once as clear and simple as you 
suggest.  Our job would be easy if they still put it like that. 
Today, power elite propaganda is most often cloaked in the language 
of compassion, especially toward women and ethnic minorities:

Liberate Afghan women from the Taliban!
Protect Albanians from Serbs!
Rescue East Timorese from Indonesia!
Save Somalis from hunger!
Etc.
