>In a dictatorship, such as the Nazi regime, and with an ever expanding list of horrors, armed resistance would be justified.< Perhaps, but the case can be made that no hope existed within the pre 1860's framework to effect change. A similar case can be made for today's time. I do not yet agree with this view (at least not in the latter case), but can see the logic for it exists in part. Nevertheless, the issue with Doe concerns whether civilization exists in taking “the Law” in one's own hand to kill an abortionist. I think not, simply by virtue of the fact that it was barbarism that caused the retaliation. Certainly there was no real civilization amidst the struggle between the Nazis and those who fought them. It was all barbarism, instigated by Nazi atrocity. Whether the retaliation was justified is another matter.
