Question.

Would it be ethical to shoot down a plane, if you knew that it was loaded with bombs intended for an area which included a civilian population?
I will give three different points to consider before you jump to your conclusion.
1. One vet, who is always opposed to any form of violence, said that it would not be ethical to shoot down the plane under any circumstances.
2. Another vet said that it would not be ethical to NOT shoot down the plane.
3. Another voice said that it would not be ethical to take any action because human behavior can never be predicted with 100% accuracy, and therefore the pilot could at the last minute change his mind and turn the plane around.
I think this is an important point to ponder for a minute.
