We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
31 War Is Evil Weapons are tools of destruction avoided by followers of Tao. The citizen favors the creative in time of peace; the citizen favors the destructive in time of war. Weapons are tools of destruction not used by people of dignity, but when their use cannot be avoided, the best policy is calm restraint. There is no beauty in victory. Whoever calls it so delights in slaughter. Whoever delights in slaughter is not fit to rule. -- tr. C. Ganson
