Sorry Cyfr. but one thing is wrong with your equation ......murder is the
unlawfull killing of someone , execution is the state sanctioned (ergo..lawfull) killing of someone .
question ...in your opinion were the sentences at the Nuremberg trials justified ? are the perpetrators of the Liberia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur genocides any less guilty than those executed in 46 and 47
or is it "ok" to execute war criminals responsible for multiple deaths but wrong execute the Yorkshire ripper ?......where do you draw the line ?
I'm sure both the Black Panther's and Adolf Eichman's mothers both thought they were both good boys as much as Tony Blair's and George Bush's mothers think of theirs.
