Q: Can significant indirect damage against civilians be justified?

A: Yes and no. It can be justified in the sense that it is the only pragmatical way
to move forward. When someone blows up a government building it is obviously not
with the intention to kill the cleaning lady or the janitor. The target has been
selected after careful consideration because it will yield the wanted results.

There are extreme and moderate forces. We are all cultural conservatives even though
we use different means. We have taken it upon ourselves to use brute, cynical force so
other people don't have to. The other political fronts should welcome it as a
necessary evil in order to rid ourselves of a much greater evil.

Innocent people will die, in the thousands. But it is still better than the alternative;
millions of dead Europeans, which is the worst case phase 3 scenario.
