Now the second that guy rushes you with a weapon brandished, kill away and feel good about it.
To me that's the fundamental reason why the way we went about invading Iraq was morally unjustified.
I think that analogy is good on the surface...
Until you see the whole picture. The guy at the bar is insulting you under his breath and saying he wants you dead. In fact, some reports claim he has a basement full of weapons that he may some day use to enact this desire--or that he may hand out to people who will do it for him. It's even a known fact that he once used said weapons in the past... to kill neibourghs, and members of his own household. And though nobody SAW any weapons the last time they visited his house, they were thrown out before they could inspect the entire building. The police have ordered him multiple times to allow the investegators to finish searching his entire home, but he consistently refuses to allow it.
In that case, is it not time to bring the SWAT team in?
