I think the problem lies here: "the concepts of the global village, humanism, democratic ideals and universal rights and freedoms have not been around for long enough for there to be many examples of just wars"
The concept of the "global village" is a concept of rich white people doing eco-tourism and always wanting the natives to be accomodating and welcoming to our first world wisdom and how we could solve all their problems if they would just be more like us. Like, why don't they travel more?
They were just words used as examples for the general change in thinking the western world has intowards itself. I much prefer them over the view of their ancestors, however much I agree with the rest of what you are saying.
