The moral lesson I drew from the show (and the one I refered to earlier),
was that it was somewhat ok to kill people who were taking lives for an evil
cause and were commiting slaughter from a position of superior ability.

The secondary lesson was mercy as dispensed from the position of superior
ability.

Its something of a change from the extreme pacifist memes that have been
floated for the last 30 years or so, but a change to a more realistic
worldview.

Peace at any cost is just unworkable, and gaining the wisdom to know when to
fight is desperately needed in todays world.
