"Yes, except that one does not specifically target the families of one's enemies. That would be morally wrong, and we ought never forget it."

"But let no one aver that we are ever specifically targeting their families, because that would be wrong."
What you write is "morally correct", but if you insist on clinging to such principles, you are going to lose the struggle with islam.
They will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to win.
Literally, anything.
That includes targeting not only you, but your family as well.
With this, they have an advantage against us that we cannot meet, so long as we are restrained by your precept above.
This is the most difficult and vexing decision The West faces in the battle with islam.
It will determine whether we win, or they win.
The time hasn't yet arrived where such choice must be made.
We have not seen the worst of their plans for us, not in the least.
But that moment WILL come, in time. Mark my words.
I've made my decision, and I'm comfortable with having done so.
I want our side to win.
