I assume I'd be able to kill someone in a justified setting. I've never had that problem thrust upon me, but I assume I could. I assume most people could. If for no other reason than most people (historically and currently) have been able to kill when put into the war scenario. Very few go the conscientious objector route.
So Rob, don't you think it's a little hypocritical to say you couldn't personally kill, but to be such a strong supporter of sending the US military off to kill in your name? If you support the current (or any) war, doesn't that make you part of a conspiracy to kill? Just like the mafia capo who sends his boys out to kill, being part of the conspiracy to commit murder? I'm not saying killing in war = murder, just using a ready analogy.
I'd be interested in anyone else's take on this who doesn't think they can kill but supports other's killing for them - war, capital punishment, etc.
CHeers!
