If you're a pacifist, that's fine. But please don't simplify or misrepresent a position that took me some time and deliberation to reach.

As John would say, what I've said is a lot more 'nuanced'.

If Arafat is responsible for killing children for political purposes, Then killing Arafat is justifiable.

It's not a toughie as ethical arguments go. It depends on whether you regard children as being innocent persons and whether you regard killing murderers as a good thing.
