"Cause" vs. "Justified" (was: Re: Hitchens responds to critics)

Yes, exactly the position that the Left uses (as I noted in my last post

responsibility implies any culpability by the dead citizens who voted for
that government.

---Nathan, does what you say apply to the  woman of an army officer who
worked at the pentagon who stated that the calls for revenge will only
bring on more violence? Can we say that she is blaming future dead victims
of terrorist attacks in the US? Can we say that your concerns really have
much relevance when there are now countless and increasing calls for
reflection on the relationship between US foreign policy and this recent
tragedy?
