Along the same lines, you can't really expect world peace to ever be able to be achieved through murder/violence. Honestly, if there was world peace that world's inhabitants would shun the killing of any number of people and since we are hold that world up to the ideal perhaps we should strive for that type of morality.

Sorry, a slight misunderstanding. If I were to kill the 63 people and bring about global peace, and if you were to ask all the people of the world if they'd rather have those 63 return to life or keep the peace, IMHO, the world would undoubtedly stay at peace.
You can't use "M" to name morality, except for your personal morality. For the world as a whole, "Morality" as such, doesn't exist.
