The "civilized" and "barbarian" doesn't apply to the method of killing, it applies to the attitude to property and people. Libertarian is civilized, the rest is not. Hacking of heads is civilized if that's the method at hand to defend oneself against attack. Kidnapping journalists and New Zealanders building cellphone networks and hacking their heads off is barbarian. Catching the Beslan kidnappers and murderers and doing the same is not. What matters is the philosophical foundations of the processes. Those who enslave are barbarian, those defending self-determination are not. Mqurice
