That's the logic, as I understand it. If people in my neighborhood were terrorists, killing them would matter, and my life would not. Killing my whole family or destroying the entire neighborhood would be permissible, if there's a terrorist around. To save the lives of others.

It's not my neighborhood, but human beings are living that reality. No, they aren't fine. I don't believe where the neighborhood is should matter.
