If killing is wrong, then are soldiers murderers?
Murder is a legal term, therefore killing in military operation is not murder.

Does the term military operation extend to dictators wiping out entire groups?
No, you're trying to equate "killing" and "murder". Those are two very different terms, both legally and socially.
By the way, who ever said claimed that killing is wrong? Just because some people say so doesn't make it a fact. If one kills someone to prevent that person from raping your ten-year old daughter, is that "wrong"? Is it "murder"?

It is killing, but not murder. I am not saying, nor have I implied that killing is not wrong. Nor have I stated, nor implied that murder is wrong. I have merely stated that murder is a very specific subset of killing.You can be a hero by taking a life to save a life\lives but in the end what is it?

yea but they are doing what there paid for so you cant hold them resposible hold the goverment.
....As for the question whether killing it wrong, to take anyones life without regard is wrong, even if they're raping your 10 year old daughter. She wouldn't die just get a little bit of trama from it, so you can't go killing everyone Baron just cuz they're doing something wrong....
A LITTLE BIT OF TRAUMA!!!! Killing you would be justifiable homicide right now. $%^&*$# :splat:
