I think, if you get attacked for no reason at all, it should be alright to retaliate. of course, I think you should only target those that attacked you, and try to keep civilian casualties to a minimum. but I'm not very informed on the situation, so don't mind me.
btw, Pony, if you move to japan I'm totally going to be asking you to buy so many parts for my car and ship them to me in america... it's not even going to be funny ;)
