hypothetical situation.

let's say person Johnny Q. in nation VSA (Venerated States of Amtrakia) is of "pro-war" disposition, and that he votes for politicians who espouse "pro-war" attitudes, and that "the experiment" results in the election of such politicians who undertake precisely "war" activities against nation Oraq, a petroleum jelly rich nation located somewhere in a galaxy far far away.

Years later, the political unstability is such that the local (and even non-local youth) is taking to the streets in protest of the unjust conditions. They are wearing the typical garments of their day: an eastern style vest, equipped with explosives. Much tragedy ensues. One day, for instance, Sili M., an Oraqian youth, walks into a market, and detonates a bomb, killing 11 civilians.

Now person Jenny X. has earned her citizenship to VSA after years of waiting. While she generally opposes war, she is not very well informed in regards to politics. In fact, she is not even aware which politicians will enjoin in war, and which will refrain. As it happens, however, she votes for exactly the same politicians as Johnny Q. for a number of years. Part of the reason may be that a close friend of hers was one of 11 people killed in a freak market explosion that happened her first year in the VSA: someone had, it seems, completely inadvertently worn a suit of dynamite, incredibly ignorant of the dangers such vestments would bring. Due to the recent constitutional amendment protecting the right to smoke in markets, an explosion was triggered by someone exercising this right, Charlie C. As it happens, all of the politicians who Johnny Q. (and Jenny X.) support, have campaigned vigorously for smoke-free markets once again in the good ol' VSA, as they believe that an amendment to the constitution which prohibits or encourages any particular habit or lifestyle is contrary to the spirit of that document in the first place.

In your blue book, please justify the relative culpabilities of Johnny Q. and Jenny X. in the deaths of the 11 Oraqian civilians. Are either of them to be held liable for monetary compensation? What are the relative culpabilities of Charlie C. and Sili M. in the deaths of 11 civilians of each of their own countries? What is the ratio of culpabilities between Sili M. and Johnny Q., and between Sili M. and Jenny X.?
