Terror Attack: 130 Dead in Paris

[Gilrandir]

If we are going to stretch this disease metaphor; what is proposed isn't supposed to be a cure, it is a quarantine. Limit or sever access to a proven disease carrier will reduce rate of infection at the cost of a mild inconvenience for the vulnerable population resulting in a net benefit for the group as a whole.

Then it is a selective quarantine. You forbid access only to one group of people but allow others a free hand in taking journeys everywhere.

I wonder if Gilrandir is in favour of free movement of Russians to and from Ukraine. Or, for that matter, free movement of Ukrainians aligned with Russia, to and from western Ukraine.

My aunt lives in Russia and my wife's friends, so I don't see anything wrong in mutual border crossing. If it happens in places controlled by Ukrainian authorities who thus decide who can cross the border and who can't.

You forget that the war between Russia and Ukraine is hybrid, both counrties trade with each other (though on a constantly decreasing scale), our president owns business in Russia (and allegedly in the Crimea).

The only thing I don't understand in your post is reference to pro-Russian Ukrainians living in western Ukraine. This part of the country is known for its anti-Russian sentiment (Sarmatian calls all of them nazis), so I can't imagine any serious number of such people desiring to be aligned to Russia, as you put it.

I wonder what you think of the government's warnings not to go to certain places (eg. Tunisia). Are they a violation of your human rights?

There are different motivations behind those two. Disregarding the warning not to travel to a war zone will harm those who choose to visit it, disregarding the proposed ban will harm others.

If it's a once only journey, they can apply for special dispensation for a once in a lifetime journey, and tick it off their list, and make it the only point in their itinerary.

What if they want to make another Haj? In this case piety will look a crime.
