Would people say "well not all of them did it, just a few of them, and they should be brought to justice"

We can use hindsight and the folly that was the Iraq war as a guide and hopefully we wouldn't invade the wrong planet based on a lie.

No no no, thats not the OP or what I said or asked. I never said invade anyone. Read OP.

Lets say we knew it a large group of the aliens that attacked us. But not the entire race.
Well just going on the information present..no I do not think PC would apply to them. Or rather I would hope it wouldn't. I think when you begin attacking and killing people all bets are off.
I just look at it another way: killing people is..well, killing them. You don't come back from that unless you're some sort of wizard. Whereas not being PC to someone, whoever they are, really should be something any sane sentient being can deal with.
