But then should every fight not end in one person killing the other? Lets say I'm walking home from the pub tonight, should I be allowed to murder him? I could say that I thought my life was in danger. I agree on stricter jail sentences for burglers and muggers, but saying that it's okay to allow one person the decide what level of danger he was in to provoke that person into killing someone else flies a bit too far into the right-wing for me.

Oddly this discussion reminds me of one on whether or not it's okay for America to attack whatever country it wants on the grounds that the 'whatever country' might attack them, don't know why, but it does.
