Eomer, I think you're missing the point. See my previous post. I think Peter actually hit upon exactly what Tolkien thought while he was writing it. Sometimes murder HAS to be committed for good to triumph over evil. Besides, anything done in defense of good, will be good, just as anything done in defense of evil, will be evil, no matter what the doer's intentions are.
