Reply #30: why would a pacifist condone assasination? [View All]

[Lerkfish]

If I didn't like guns, but used a gun to kill a gun manufacturer, would that be ok?
If I didn't like abortion because I considered it murder, but killed a doctor, would that be ok?

As a pacifist, I would like to see as MUCH money spent on problem solving and diplomacy as is spent in one month on military items in Iraq.

I would not want to see death used a tool to avoid more death. However, I realize not every sees things as I do, I'm just saying *I* cannot condone assassination of leaders as a policy to avoid war. There has to be other, better ways to accomplish the same thing. We just never seem to spend time or resources figuring out what those other ways would be.
