Jacob,

Your passion on this issue is in conflict with some of your other passions.

If a population is guilty of their regimes actions, then obliterating civilians is ethical. This is so because a logical follow-on to your thesis is that there are no civilians. All members of a society are responsible for that societies actions.

Now this insistence on sovereignty flies in the face of the fact that starving, poorly educated people do not revolt. What the Russians forgot was that by feeding and educating their populations they initiated the eventual demise of their authoritarian model.
