At the moment I'm "enjoyin" 'Crime and Punishment' [ ] and it's said there that commiting a crime can be justified in certain cases..
Basically it's about the fact that you can divide people in two groups: people who are 'special' in some way and their crime is justified and 'ordinary' people, who should just shut the fuck up and do not commit crimes.
People from the first group - 'special' ones are for example people like Napoleon or any other 'great' unit. Actually, you cannot say they commited crimes directly, cause they didn't. But it was the only way to achieve what they have achieved..
I think it's kinda fucked up, cause now we're like "omg, he was great!!", but we forgot about the fact that their greatness is in 90% connected with wars and killing innocent people.. But I got used to the fact the world ain't normal.. Hope you got my point lol ^^
