In WoW they are -absolutely- not "Invaders" if you're trying to limit it to WoW rather than previous games.
And I already spoke about how the Alliance were the aggressors in:
Alterac Valley
Warsong Gulch
The War of the Cataclysm that lasted through Pandaria
But let's go ahead and up the ante ONE MORE TIME!
Genn Greymane -explicitly- turned against his High King's Orders to launch a Sneak Attack on Sylvanas in Stormheim. His stated goal was to kill her to avenge his Son and Varian. He attempted assassination while in Peacetime.
During the life of WoW, the Alliance has, consistently, been shown to be the Aggressor just as often as the Horde.
As to a Humanist view of things: Your philosophical viewpoint is, at best, flawed. Specifically that you're disgust of undead and value judgement that they would be "Better Off" in their graves clearly springs out of a cultural bias against death and general ickiness rather than an actual logical view of Undeath as a construct. In Humanist philosophy there is no heaven, no afterlife, and thus logically Dead is Dead. Unless you're intent on arguing that Existence is not of a higher human value that Non-Existence, you must agree that the ability to keep existing, aware and intelligent as you were in life, in a persistent consciousness is better than the alternative. And if you ARE trying to argue that Existence is not inherently of a higher human value than Non-Existence, I'll ask you to just stop pretending you understand Humanism.
As to "The Values of Humanity, Honor, and Decency" step the fuck off, dude, 'cause you clearly don't know enough about the SUBJECT to discuss those things. You might as well be throwing out business buzzwords for all they mean within the topic at hand.
If Russia were to invade the United States, Fought a Bloody War, and came to a Peace Agreement that allowed them to retain part of the United States as Russian Territory, and some time later the US decided to attack that Russian Territory: Yes, the Russians would be the Victims. Because the Peace Treaty itself outlined an agreement between the two nations as to where their Border Lies.
A Better Example would be France and Germany. Each of these nations fought HUNDREDS of Wars over the course of Human History, and at the end of each war, their borders would grow or shrink based on which lands were agreed belonged to the nations at the end of the current War. Sometimes pieces of what is today France became part of Germany. Sometimes the other way around. And whoever decided to break the treaty is, in the end, the Invader on the other.
If through Time Travel Technology we could go back to the first time the two nations fought and learned that it was France that invaded and conquered a part of Germany and we labeled them 'Invaders' it would not subsequently make them responsible for all other acts of aggression between themselves and Germany. It wouldn't make the German Invasion of France during WW2 a justified act of 'fighting off invaders' for example.
What "Basic Values" of Humanity am I disregarding, here, Nemmar? I'm SUPER KEEN to know which ones you perceive as being missing.
In short: There have been times of Peace between the Horde and the Alliance. There have been declarations of the End of Wars with lands left in the hands of either side. If either side breaks those agreements, attacks the other, they are the aggressor of that conflict, regardless of what happened in a previous fight/war/etc.
