If I had to kill to defend Hugh's life, I would. End of.
Everything else above and below that, is just rhetoric: I know I would kill, therefore the entire argument is important, necessary, vital, but academic.
I do understand that others would not make that choice.
But then, I'm not Christian... so I have no conflict over "thou shalt not kill" My belief system accepts that if others are coming over the hill with death in their eyes, you kill the buggers first. :-)
You accept what you've done, and that what you've done is huge, and with great weight, and should not be done lightly, but that there was no choice given the intent of those that attacked...
