RE: Weekend-Engagement #276: If you could throw a live hand grenade into any room on the planet, who would you want to be in that room? People from history and the present are eligible. Explain who and why.

I couldn't do it. I would consider that murder. However, if there were a scenario in which all those people were actively trying to kill me or another person, no problem. Murder and killing aren't the same thing.
The examples you mention would qualify as killing to save lives. But, even then, it would have to be at the moment they are putting their plans into effect, or after, but not before.
The list could get longer if you also account for all the socialist movements that killed millions in Russia, China, and Cambodia. And to a lesser extent the socialist movements in Cuba, central America, and south America.
Even then, do you kill the leaders of these things or the people who actually did the killing for them? Both?
Yeah as I said there would be a stadium needed for all the people and I excluded main ideology like nazisn or communism (socialism) because then it would be like fire on the red cross, too easy to name those... I would kill the leaders, in fact for the japan case I picked the mind of everything, without him there wouldn't have been what it happened
