You're reinforcing my point. I just went back a few more years (of course, to bring the US into the "equation").
In short, geographic location doesn't matter. Whether it be East Timor, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Rawanda, Iraq, El Salvador, BiH, Liberia....etc...it's all War defined in terms of the stake holders' concerns (however they define to be).
These are not cynical or empty words. They reinforce anyone who speaks against states that initiate wars of aggression.
