As someone who has taught often using Walzer's Just and Unjust Wars, I think it's safe to say that Professor Walzer would indeed say that the acts you describe as a counterpoint are unjust -- although there are a few cases (such as the war against Nazism) where there's a difficult gray area. It's an excellent book and well worth reading for anyone who questions the morality of modern warfare.
