I realize that the issue was collective punishment's rightness. And I don't think it is really right to punish a population for their elected government's positions. Sometimes it may be somewhat justified for certain pragmatic reasons, but it is never morally justified, IMO. After all, there are probably plenty of people who didn't vote for the government who are also being punished for simply being in the wrong country. I hope you will then be logically consistent when you get around to answering my question re WWII bombing by allies...
