Did the same apply to Nazi Germany? Were those soldiers killed by the Allies in WW2 noble and fine citizens, for serving the people of their country as elected by the citizens?

If so, where do we draw the moral line?

I find this all very confusing morally. Are the men and women killing innocent civilians in Iraq noble and decent human beings, obeying our orders (via our elected leaders)?

So; is murder OK if someone in authority tells you to do it?

Then weren't the Iraquis who killed Kurds simply fine and noble Arabs?

I'm finding this morality code hard to understand. Someone please explain.

I'll try to explain, JK !

If you are killing thousands of people but are on "our side" (like, for example, the President of Uzbeckistan) then you are a good guy.

If you are killing thousands of people but do not take orders from Washington (like, for example, Saddam Hussein) then you are a baddie.

Clear now?
