"Victor, you did just prove my point. By kicking me painfully or breaking my arm you would indeed use force, retaliate etc., thus screwing the weak pacifist "logic" or the lack of ."
-Yes, but my opposition to the war is based on the mounds upon mounds of civilian casualties, not the actual use of force. (And notice there is a big difference between preparing to break an arm than actually succeeding. I know how to do it, I don't think I could actually do it in practice) If Bin Laden had a large obvious camp somewhere away from civilians and basically only with military targets, I would have been among the first to suggest dropping FAE on them.
"Notice that your level of violence would be similar to mine, like the use of force in Afgahnistan is similar to the one of the 9.11., except that we try to keep colat-dam as low as possible"
-Right, except I have a clear target standing in front of me, and the means to damage only you, so that colat-dam is neglible, unless I knock you into some property that gets damaged, and we all know I'm not that good
