That's why I compared it to the assassination of Alexander II (who was killed by communists specifically because he wanted to appease the downtrodden). On the other hand, saying the state of Serbia was "sheltering" members of the organization because they weren't handing over everyone affiliated to it to the Austrian government, is not really fair. After the attacks of 9/11, it would have been ludicrous and unfair to expect Afghanistan to hand over everyone with affiliation to Al Qaeda, and to allow the United States to establish our own police force over there otherwise. Invading Afghanistan for refusing these demands would be unjust in the extreme.
Thats exactly what we did though and nobody blinked an eye. It was entirely just and right.
If they handed over bin Laden yet we still invaded, that would be very wrong.
