The ends ALWAYS justify the means....

Why didn't I think of this before? :palm:

Say to Bob "Hey you go out to North Korea and kill some guy" and he would do that. and meanwhile I would go to Korea and get a job as an executioner and make sure I executed Bob. Then flee the country! :twisted:

Then X would die. The end!

Upon reflection....

X is the problem.

Bob is a target who's death is supposed to stop X.
Bob is not the problem but his death directly affects X in some way.

Morality question: Do you kill the innocent to stop the guilty?

Isn't that exactly what an intervention war is?

No I do not kill Bob. I contain X's reign of terror any other way I can.
I watch 1000 people die and feel like shit but I would have felt no different if I had killed Bob.

Bob dies. One average joe < One thousand average joes.

Would you kill a man to save a thousand?
