It appears to me that you are not opposed to war and murder per se. 
You are opposed to war and murder by minor regional powers such as 
China & Serbia that got on the wrong side of the Empire, which you 
believe should be stopped by war and murder by the Empire. 
Otherwise, you'd also advocate war on Russia, Israel, etc., not to 
mention the USA itself.
