I recently thought of an analogy of a sort.
Isn't the Iraqi war, in a certain context, a larger model of execution as punishment over a crime?
I mean, the strongest argument for the Iraqi war is that it's ruled by a dictator. The principles of 'killing the few to save the many' and 'killing the few for the greater good' are somewhat similar.
Of course, there are many other factors that come into account with the war. Also, execution is about an individual, whereas the war is about a collective. Despite that, I guess I would view a person who supports the war while being against execution in general as rather.. quirky. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I would like to know what you guys think.
