Those two paragraphs back to back are perfect.
No need for me to reply to that, you've covered it quite well.
Now having said that, let me say that I don't support commercial whaling, and I wish the Japanese would comply with the ban.
My SOLE objection is to the notion that murdering the whalers is in any way an acceptable act.
Moon proposed attempting to kill the whalers. You seem to agree with that approach.

You still don't get it. I don;t support capturing the whalers and making them walk the plank to their death for punishment as whalers.
But if the IC refuses to step in, the whalers should be prepared to deal with resistance. If one of them dies, it is tragic. Albeit the risk is small.
This is in no way the same as saying i support an deliberate attempt to kill the whalers. The attempt and the intent is only to stop them from whaling.
You and others have made the same argument justifying collateral damage im sure. And if the consequences of not taking action are worse than the collateral damage it is justified. Right?
