Hmm yes, It can also be said that a strong test of a civiliation is that it knows what is right and what is wrong and that sometimes bad things have to be done to good people, to allow the future to judge the past and try and learn from what was forced upon those which never asked for it in the first place ;)

I doubt the imperium actually think ' oh yes, bit bored today, lets slaughter some common folk' and that actually sit as a 'good' thing to do. The imperium has law enforcement/Military to curve that sort of behaviour so I think it/they are actually nicer folks than given credit for...every herd has its black sheep so to speak of course.

Violence can be a means to a end. Would you say that defending your home from a invader or stopping someone attacking a third party for no justifiable reason, after all other attempts to stop their violence has failed, is wrong, or hypocritial or a contridiction...after all, how would we ever be able to sit around and debate these things, call our selves a civilisation, if not for the Police using force (simple handcuffing say) to assist the detention of a terrorist? Would that not, by its very nature of been proportionate, legal, accountable and needed be the very model of a civilised approach ;)
