If a Jew had killed Hitler while killing a few hundred or thousand other Germans then it would be wrong.

If a Jew had killed a few thousand Germans and just to topple Hitler then it would be wrong.

If you kill a few thousand Brits to topple a gev't it would be wrong.

If you directly go out and shoot the head of Exxon or Dubya then who can judge that it would be wrong.

Proposing action whereby you indirectly kill people that you do not or never will know is a cowards way to address the problem. If you really want to stop Tony and Dubya then go out and shoot them! Don't hide behind, "We're fighting their policies and so the consequences of our action is on their heads."
