When is killing someone justified -especially in the context of war? I belive most of us believe that bringing someone's life to an end as a result of protecting ourselves and others from aggression (no matter who's attacking us) is ok. What are the other cases in which killing!=murder? In war, can we just kill all our enemies and aggressors without any guilt? Even people whom we know to be just? (for example, if our country declares war on a country whose president is a faithful christian and whose church attendance rate is 75%, can we justly kill him if our leaders tell us to do that?)
Are all means of warfare ok? What about mustard gas, biological weapons, EMP's, nuclear weapons and landmines?
