A few more points to ponder GST.

IMO, the ULTIMATE WAR CRIME is when nations and government act to appease BLATANT AGGRESSION. To do everything to avoid confronting it to the point that the aggressors are so encouraged by your lack of will that an even larger war becomes unavoidable.

When you enemy is able to predict and calculate your threshold of "pain", they will ALWAYS attempt to push that envelope to the point where you are forced to react.

Were you to make the attempt and succeed in striking me GST, I would not respond proportionately. I would pummel you to the point where you would would have to be carried away. And were the situation reversed, I would expect you would do the same.

And were you to attempt to harm my family, I also would not act proportionately. If there were no police to be found to act as "proxies" in preserving the security of my loved ones, I would take whatever steps I deemed necessary to prevent you from succeeding in threatening, or harming, those who I have a duty and obligation to protect.

It's a cruel world and your rules of behavior mean very little if you're not willing, or lack the ability, to enforce them equally and fairly.
