I agree with Nir. It's a messed up world we live in, but that's the realism. Otherwise, I like the intertwining?stories. It could be very dramatic and suspenseful.

Now I'm going to sound horrible, but it's only logic. When given the choice between one innocent person (girl) and many (terror attack) the choice is clear - save the many. I would argue that there is no choice to be made - it's not a lesser of two evils rather a heart-breaking order to give and execute.? However, if the terrorists were only suspected of planning an attack i.e they may or may not kill many people, then there is a choice to be made.

I haven't seen the film so I don't know what actually happens.

Furthermore, it sounds to me like the girl wondering into the kill zone is the inciting incident. The mission goes to plan up until her walking into the kill zone, her unexpected presence throws a proverbial spanner in, and forces the mission commander to take action. If it wasn;t for the girl there would be no dilemma and no story.
