If you support the killing of innocent people

If you think about war, and the so-called acceptable casualties of it?

It's just amazing what can be permitted in the name of "reasonable action"

If you had to kill 1 innocent person to save 10 other innocent people would you do it?

If you had to kill 10,000 people to stop one of them from possibly killing would you do it?
Would be a more felicitous statement....I would think anyway

Your question has little or no context in basis to the situation but, as the case to your question, I think it would be most served by giving you the advice of readingThe Speluncean Explorers (probably not the best link but, do some googling, I'm not reading through it to make sure it is accurate, I've read it before) as given to me from a law professor......

There are 11 innocent people. It is not for us to pre judge the 1 innocent to be a taker of life. If he does it is for us to judge. The 10 are not victims until they are.

Exactly what the US, Britain and more noticably Israel are doing. Killing thousands of other innocent people to save tens of their "potential victims" ...and as you pointed out; they are not victims until they are. No wonder the world is hating these countries more by the day.
