>I do not care about what is considered normal.

The question you need to ask yourself is not whether it was normal, but "was it justified".

I don't care about what is "normal" either. (I'm among the dying few that thinks that spanking ones child can be a very good thing when justified). I may be seen as abnormal, however, I don't think I am unjustified.

Lets continue with your analogy. So certain Germans killed many Jews. Because of that, the response of the Americans was to kill Germans.

It became normal (and ok from the American perspective) for an American soldier to kill a German soldier in order to stop the war.

Is killing normal? Most would argue no.

You can sit there any say that killing is never justified.

However, when Hitler was slaughtering Jews by the trainload in WWII, maybe we should have just stuck to our morals and tried to reason with Hitler.

Yes, yes....in hindsight I think this would have been a glorious idea! No guns....lets just stick to "reasoning with them".

Afterall, we should never be violent.
