Based in what a friend posted long time ago I guess that, morally speaking, the murder of human beings is wrong in almost every single case. But the violence that arises with terrorism conventionalizes this state of affairs and, morally relativistic as it sounds, there is no longer a clear-cut black and white state of moral right and wrong. There is merely the rationally, logically justifiable. One may consider OBLīs murder illegal or even immoral. It was also perfectly legitimate.
