Imagine walking into a village in another country. You find that a local military officer is about to shoot three people lined up against the wall. You ask, ?Why are you shooting these people? They look quite harmless.?

The officer says, ?Last night somebody in this village shot one of my men. I know that somebody in this village is guilty, so I am going to shoot these three to set an example.?

You say,?You can?t do that! You?re going to kill an innocent person. If only one shot was fired, then perhaps two of these people are innocent, perhaps all three. You just can?t do that.?

The officer takes a rifle from one of his men and hands it to you saying, ?You shoot one of them for me and I?ll let the other two go. You can save two lives if you shoot one of them. I?m going to teach you that in civil war you can?t have these holier than thou attitudes.?
