It could be someone who's, say, committing genocide. Or maybe he could push a button and blow up the entire world. Or maybe you think he's the next Hitler. Whatever. Do you think it's ok to assassinate a nation's leader?

Just want to see if the moral compasses of members here are broken or not.


Assassinating someone is a political action of oppression, and is never justified.

Of course its wrong.

Murder is wrong. And assassination is a form of murder.


Wouldn't this be considered self-defense though?

Possibly, however there are other things that one can do to defend oneself, that do not involve murdering people.

And yes, soldiers going to war to kill enemy combatants is also technically murder.

Meh, none of that really bothers me. Death is a part of life.

That does not compute. Just because death is natural, it doesnt mean murder is not wrong.

I don't live in a black and white world. Sometimes, murder is for the best. Otherwise, you would have to be against abortion in all circumstances and I think we can both agree that their are certain people who act a certain way and have a certain culture who shouldn't be having children.

I don't disagree, but we are not asking whether we should commit murder in some circumstances. We are asking whether murder is wrong, and I say that it is.
