So what do you propose as an alternative to this? Not paying isn't really an option. Move and renounce citizenship? (Remember, US has global taxation for citizen.) Not really a viable option to affect change, as you lose your right to vote, etc.

I do not think there is a nice alternative. I think we should accept that we share some responsibility for the actions of our home countries. If a political group could organize enough people to withhold their tax payments as part of a protest against a certain military action, that might cause enough of a disruption to stop it. Alternatively, it might just get everyone involved thrown in prison.
