Uh-huh. So they destroyed a city which was built with no defence against their attacks. Why should this have anything to do with the future where cities are designed with defences, and/or where mobility is much easier? You think they're going to send bombers out to firebomb EvMick's truck?

Not in a modern fixed house, perhaps. In a future mobile home I just start up the engine and trundle off towards the next city. If I get stuck in a traffic queue I set up my radar-guided hypervelocity railguns, dial up Nuke-The-Bastards, Inc and pledge $1000 for the destruction of the capital city of whichever country attacked us, then sit back and watch the fireworks.

Again, aircraft aren't the problem, bombs are the problem, and bombs can be shot down.

You're really stuck in the 20th century, you know. Hasn't it ever occured to you that an anarcho-capitalist society might, like, be a little bit different to a modern society?
