Welcome to the boards.
Try not to think of IM or LoA as "hard and fast" things. It's far more resourseful to think of them as models.
For example, in the subjective reality model, you create your "world" in its entirety. Your ability to stop or not stop a war would be a reflection of the sum of your intentions (conscious and subconscious). But remember, focusing on anything (war), creates more of it. You will have to replace it with its opposite. (Steve has a great podcast introduction to Subjective Reality - check it out.)
Some people believe in the subjective reality model, others subscibe to a more co-creative universe model. It doesn't really matter -- the point is that you accept responsiblity for everything in your life (especially the bad suff).
So, the whole point of these models of interpreting your reality, is to create your life the way you consciously _want_ it to be, rather than relying on old unconscious and automatic ways of responding to stimulus. The best way to see what you are focusing on is to look around you and notice what results you are getting right now.
Steve has a great quote, "Live consciously."
