That's actually not true. In fact, I think you just made it up on the spot just now. That's one fairly common concept of justice -- well, maybe not that common. I mean, you think it's okay to kill civilians in Iraq because they happen to be near suspected terrorists, right?
Think about it. You're saying that a voluntary apology, freely given, is a bad idea. But dropping bombs on someone because they live in the same country as someone else you don't like, that's a good idea.
I think you believe in collective responsibility just fine, when it's convenient.
