I believe that the founders were talking about war being fought for the sake of national interests. That's what they were condemning. That makes sense on ideological grounds, as well as practical grounds. Wars of national interests are immoral and the US was too weak to fight those kinds of wars in the days of the founders anyways.
However, this has absolutely nothing to do with todays wars, as todays wars as the ideology you oppose has a large moral component, and not just national interests. Also, the US is not weak, like it was when the founders were alive. So, their words do not apply to the wars that you are linking them to.
