"It's only the difference between first and second degree murder-
did they pull a trigger, or just willingly and with forethought
provide assistance to those who did?"

Let's drop the hyperbole for a sec. Here's a real world example for you to pass judgement upon: A guy that lives a couple houses down my street is an EMT for one of the big hospital corporations here in the US. BigHospitalCorp was awarded a govt contract to support military hospitals in Iraq, and my neighbor decided to go for a stint. His presence indirectly supports the occupation of Iraq, that's true. But it's also true that his presence directly is saving lives, both American AND Iraqi. Is my neighbor a merc by your book? Is he an accomplice to murder? Does he deserve to die?
