You don't have to wait for him to cut you, but you do have to wait for him to walk toward you with the knife. If you're in the room and he is cutting others and they ask you for help, you can also act as their agent, but this is not the case with nations with DEFENSIVE militaries. --- In [email protected], "Terry L Parker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > A crazed killer enters the room and begins slashing people > with a big knife; then turns to you... > > Must you wait for him to cut into you BEFORE you shoot him? > > Someone you know to be somewhat vicious and short tempered, > loads his pistol, shoots a cat, then takes slow deliberate > aim upon you from just a few feet away.... > > Do you think you have no right to 'pre-emptivly' defend yourself? > > I don't see how Iraq, or even Afghanistan, were 'credible' threats! > > > -Terry Liberty Parker > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian > > > > --- In [email protected], "Grant@" <grant.yahoo@> > wrote: > > > > Wait a minute, when did the "credibly threatening to initiate" get > > added?
