Is it logical to attack the dead body of a terrorist after he has murdered your children?

My comment had nothing to do with the logic of the response. The context was the capacity to differentiate between a political murder and a non-political murder. It is illogical to insist that an axe-murder is conceptually the same as a terrorist murder. The net result may be the same. The response may even be the same. But logically they are still two different concepts and not recognizing that is an analytical shortfall.

If you are being attacked by people throwing apples and oranges, the distinction between the two may be irrelevant but you cannot say that an apple is the same thing as an orange even as you swat back at both of them equally.
