You're advocating for collective punishment. Let's say 51% of the U.S. voted for a crazy President from party "X" who became a dictator (illegally), and did terrible horrible unspeakable things. And, let's say the 49% of the U.S. that didn't support said nutjob President, vehemently protested and did everything they could to oppose him[0]. Now, let's the say the rest of the world unites to defeat the U.S. that had gone crazy. Would you still advocate that "Americans should pay the price for X's crimes against humanity"? Would you advocate for the collective punishment of Americans, including those who abhor and hate X's actions (and who even attempted to resist X)? This is the problem with collective punishments.
