For what reasons would you have to kill someone? Self-defense is appropriate.
"Nuking the whole Middle East", as you indicated in a recent post, would not
be classified as self defense, however. It would instead be classified as
Genocide.

Evidently, you believe Genocide is appropriate for anyone who lives in a
region of the world that includes any people who scare you.

This parrallels the belief that Genocide is appropriate for anyone who
subscribes to a religion that includes people who scare you.

It would seem to me to be an excellent argument for taking care not to
scare him.

For me, deadly force is appropriate for eliminating threats to my
children and grandchildren.

So, cultures who make a point of threatening those I love are
appropriate for neutralization. It is not necessary to kill them all,
but we are entirely justified in denying them the technology for doing
us harm.
