is a matter of opinion, the state is made up of people, so how is it different then a personal action?
Are you saying that the government can do anything it wants and its okay becuase its a state action.
Someone is still the killer, someone ordered the action, and if the person was innocent, there innocent blood is still on someones hands.
Your talking legally, I'm talking morally. The state can make any law it wants, so talking legally is irrelevent. |
