"It would appear that maybe some absolutes, such as the ban on murder, are maybe not so absolute." People die at the hands of other people as a daily occurance. "Ooops," says doctor dimwit as he drops his scalpal and his patient slips on to the next plane of existence. Incompetence but not murder. Crash go the cars into one another. Its called an accident, not murder. Warring forces clash one against the other in combat to determine dominance over realestate, resources, or social advantage. Not murder. In our society the act of murder is very specific. It is the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought. I would say in this context "murder" is absolutely bad. If you want to go off on the politially agendized conotations of murder, like the people who like to rant about Bush being a murderer, then you have no absolute. You simply have some vague reference to possible but unsubstantiated wrong doing that may have resulted in misguided strategies, and some unintended but tragic deaths, with alarm bells and whistles going off in the background.
