What is the sin? Its not a sin, infact it would be a Mitzva to do what is necessary to protect one's people agains't a hostile nation that wants to kill you. So in this aspect if it is done, then forgiveness is not needed because their is no sin.

Tzvi,
I think he is referring to the innocent people killed... It is a mitzvah to kill those who rise to kill us, but each person must be judged. When they use human shields it makes it too difficult to determine who is the 'bad' guy and the good guy. So, inevitably, some innocent good people get killed.
Imagine that 2 terrorists are in a building which has 200 people in it. Is it justified to destroy the entire building, killing all 200 people, just to kill the 2 terrorists? This is an ethical dilemma.

You might like the shiur. Rav Bar Chaim takes a different approach.

how many people are aware that there are terrorists in the building, how many have supplied them with shelter, and food.

That is what it will take to destroy Islam.

No it is NOT a dilemma. And if you are asking me if I believe it is right to do, or if I would do it? Absolutly. We need to stop worrying about the so-called innocent civilians. At a time of war, you are at war. And at war, you need to WIN. Winning consists of- destroying your enemy, and surviving (both as an individual and the collective that is part of your side).

We must win this war at any cost...Islam is a Snake that is swallowing our World and we must cut it's head off! Civilians will die and we cannot do anything for them due to their connections to Islam and terrorists. That is why I feel we will not be blamed by G-d. The death of civilians was not our faults. The Muslims killed them by using them as shields in the first place. It is sad to see innocent people suffer and die but if this war is not won and the Muslims take over...this World will be one giant blood bath.
P.S. May G-d bless the United States of America and L' Chaim Yisrael !!!
Shalom from Dox

Brilliant comparison. I say that Islam is more like an aggressive cancer, however. In order to kill the cancerous cells you must also kill harmless cells. There is always danger that the harmless cells can mutate. Gotta do what you gotta to protect yourself.
