just to throw another lollie in the bag..
was killing saddam murder? he became a captive of war in 'the war on terror'. was his execution murder? was the court set up to try him legal and most importan just?
most people would say that in this case its not murder. is this because of human emotions attached to the stigma of saddam?
the way i see it as it stands now (and i dont think its necesarly correct) is that any killing done under a government or law is not murder.
but does that make the murder of thousands of kurds by saddam 'not murder' because it was done by the government? if so, then why was he tried and executed if he had the protection of the state?
