Answer 2

Concern over the cost of compromising our ideals undoubtedly undermines efforts to make our enemies believe we are willing to punish them no matter at what expense. To effectively deter Enemy Attack the U.S. will have to accept the price that comes with violating some human rights, responding with overwhelming force, alienating certain allies, and even eliminating those assets and people that Enemies may hold dear. Any discussion of deterrence or Ethics that fails to acknowledge the necessity to implement such policies belongs only in ivory towers where the theoretical does not have to be tested by the practical. Deterring terrorists or Enemy attacks will not happen with strong policy statements alone, it will only happen if the U.S. can clearly illustrate to terrorists, Enemy attackers and their supporters that they will feel significant pain as the result of their actions. However, as long as arguments about the conflict between what is necessary and what is right continue to resonate throughout American society, the idea of deterring terrorists, and Enemy attacks alike and who have no qualms about using pipe bombs to blow people up, or an array of Chemical, Biological warfare at there disposal represents little more than a pipe dream. And even if we, as Americans, did suggest that we were willing to sacrifice some ideals to combat Enemies or terrorists, would the they believe us? So I could come up with a scenario for you but the bigger question is why should any country be concerned with an ethical response to someone who isn't using any ethics against you??

Answer 5

The first response would be damage control, this would depend on many possibilities from civilian casualties to contamination of food and water supplies and developing strategies ostensibly to counter proliferation! I guess since you are responding "Ethically" you would still need to consider future enemy strikes. Obviously I can only speak as an American and the threat would have to be eliminated and to have the least amount of casualties our military would plan a military raid or preemptive strike! Most likely selectively taking out key government/leader!
