Christians of a certain ilk say that their moral compass is the question, "What would Jesus do?" So let us apply this to the specific case at hand, regarding the War in Iraq, the whatever-it-is in Afganistan, and the oft-ballyhooed "Next War."
What do you get when you try a Christian approach to warmongering?

All bombing would be prefaced by holy water spraying and leaflets pushing the last chance at repentance. After that, there would be psychological warfare involving loud-speakers on helicopters making people feel extremely guilty about their decisions in life and their choices about glottony, pre-marital sex, and masturbation. Following that there would be a full frontal assault by a special division of homo-sexual Catholic priests hell-bent on child molestation and lesbian Episcopalian female priests hell bent on prostrating all the female sinners before the lord. At this point, most of the countries society would be struck with internal strife and a total breakdown of societal norms would ensure. As a last ditch effort we could send in another special Battalion of Scientologists to bore the **** out of everyone with their non-sense to the point where suicide would be a welcome reprieve. Total cost of the operation would be a few hundred gallons of red wine, some condoms, and a case of razor blades.

According the wackos in our country, Jesus would support bombing Muslims who are attacking our "freedom". Jesus would support killing innocent people as long as a few Americans made some money off the deal. Jesus has flexible morals.

Christ never addressed "warmongering," so that is idle speculation. Jesus spoke about relationships between you and your neighbors, for example, but He did not speak about relationships between people dependent on you and your neighbors (for example, "turn the other cheek" most likely does NOT apply if you catch your neighbor raping your young child, because of the harm to the child).
Now, if you had asked "Who Would moe (pi$$-buh) Bomb?" = well, the answer is in your newspaper every freaking day.

If you are truely intested in learning a Christian approch to war, and not just asking questions to piss people off, try reading Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica ( there is a section on Just War).

Bummer about your hangup on Jesus and other people in general. Counseling might help if you seek it out.

considering he chased out all the businessmen from the temple he'd probably condone the destruction of that corrupt city of commerce, Babylon the Great (aka the twin towers)
