Last fall, as war was brewing, some of us libertoonians expressed distaste for bombing Afghanistan, on the grounds that bombing puts the same risk on people who have done nothing to support the Taliban as on its backers and goons. One patriot said no, that’s not a problem, because individualist ethics don’t apply to anyone in a Moslem country: y’see if they weren’t collectivists themselves they wouldn’t live under a collectivist state.
I thought of that while reading this story: Arab stops bomber.
