A young boy sponsored terrorism? I do not feel alot of sympathy for the leader. I do however have compassion for the innocent.
You are of course saying that Americans are responsible (every man woman and child) for the bombing of Serbia.
Therefore if this act were perpetuated in retaliation by Serbia, every man woman and child who died in the WTC deserved it. Congratulations on your stunning compassion for Americans.
You're saying we're not??
"All that is required for Evil to triumph, is for good men to stand by and do nothing" -- libertarian maxim on a citizen's duty.
The "Government" is a Night-Watchman you hire to defend your house. When your hired hand starts committing murder and arson against the Serbian neighborhood down the block, we do have a moral obligation to remove that Night Watchman from service, and hire someone else who will do the job as specified, without engaging in assaults on neighbors and property. If we do not constrain our "government", our hired bodyguard, from committing these acts of murder and arson, then we are become... not co-conspirators, not even accomplices -- but at least accessories after-the-fact. And for that reason -- though I would deplore any attacks on any fellow Americans -- I state as a simple matter of realistic observation that the War Party interventionists should not be surprised if some greiving Serbian whose family had been killed by US aggression, decided to attempt some kind of revenge.
But that Occam's Razor of libertarian-ethics is a two-edged blade. It does apply to the Afghans as surely as it does to Americans. And their "hired bodyguards" (if evidence establishes that case, as seems 90% likely) have now committed a horrific act of terror and slaughter against our neighborhood. They have one appropriate recourse: to immediately overthrow their "government" -- remove their "Night Watchman" from service -- and deliver them en masse to the Tribunals of the US Armed Forces for military justice. This would arguably satisfy their moral duty not to stand by, do nothing, and let Evil triumph in their land.
If they do not do this before our retaliation is readied, then they are become accessories after the fact.
And in that case, they should expect expect our retaliation to be constrained only by our raw capacity for destruction. Nothing less.
