    Police officers have a right to self defence. Here it is one life over anothers. With the death penalty it's not one life over anothers - taking the life of the criminal won't bring back the innocents. In self defence it can prevent the death of innocents. There is a difference there - but even that should be avoided if possible.

    And no, I don't think military force is ever necessary. WWII was a result of terrible politcal descisions and could have been prevented without ever using military force, IMHO.


    The worse of two evils, prehaps. But two wrongs do not make a right. I could also say that crashing a plane into the Twin Towers was better than dropping a nuclear bomb on the city. I would be right, but it doesn't mean that the former case is justified.


    I know, and I understand your reasoning. But I believe that killing anyone is wrong - whether they are innocent or guilty. Killing is killing no matter who you kill.
