"What if that bear invaded your home, killed half of your family, and forced you to live in the outhouse in the backyard for 70+ years? Would you not be justified in trying to get rid of it?"

No, it doesn't, as soon as you have rules in war, war becomes something civilized people do. (IE: it becomes acceptable as long as you play by the rules)

That plan has about as much chance as Will's.
