On the point of defending your family, this is exactly what is happening now. Our family has been assaulted, murdered. Do we wait for it to happen again because some can't stomach war? That is why a draft is the last resort. It is known that some can't hack giving their lives (or taking them)to protect their families. So we have the brave men and women who do it for them. Not because they are bloodthirsty, but because they see it as a great honor to DEFEND the country they love and those who are unable to do it for themselves.

Liliara, Dio is not suggesting that bin Laden should not be punished or killed. He is objecting to the fact that innocent people are likely to be killed in the process of getting to bin Laden. Your analogy would more reflect his position if you said that the solution to the murderer killing his wife and children was to retaliate in a way that killed a lot of innocent people in the process of killing the murderer.
