How can you justify punishing an entire group of people for one persons actions?

happens all the time & its only 1 way of stripping our rigths away
Sure, they do it all the time in the military. It promotes team work and support. It also helps because you watch your co-workers more and encourage them to do right so all of you don't get punished.
You mean Iraq?


Answer:
you cant. nor can rights be (legally) stripped away. and when rights are being systematically violated by a government - the people have a right to dissolve that government a put another in it's place. it says so in the american declaration of independance. the universal declaration of human rights is another document you might want to read.
