The danger of what you said is clear. If you claim latitude on
HOW, as in methods and paths, I am 'responsible' for my govt's policies, politics, and actions, I can claim the latitude to do the same for your citizenry. That is how Osama bin Laden effectively made all Americans targets for his war against US. That means we should toss the Geneva Convention, no such thing as a 'war crime', no distinction of a 'military' or 'civilian' target, and finally, no end to wars.
Given the current gross technological difference between the US and the West vs everyone else, I say -- go for it. I served my country once and even though I am now approaching retirement age, with this new type of unrestrained warfare, am willing to enlist again. I know my ways in an F-16 cockpit.
