"Drugs are a kind of WMD on society. Suppose you were born in a poor family and lived on a seedier side of town where drug peddlers had taken over the hood. Would you want the police to firebomb the whole neighborhood to get at the drug smugglers?" Of course not but if they had the head drug dealers all in one place and targeted, would it be immoral to take them out if there were a few civilian casualties? On one hand each innocent life is precious; on the other a whole generation of kids would be saved by drugs. This is why I dont dwell on the moral arguments. I dont know if they can truly be answered. Mike
