Unattainable Ideal
WizardDru, I respectfully disagree.
Killing people is murder in Middle-Earth, regardless of when where or how it's accomplished. Even in self-defense. It may be necessary, but it remains evil. It may not be as evil as senseless mayhem, but it's still evil.
The good guys do what they must, but they don't kid themselves that it's a good act.
The proof of Aragorn's kingship isn't his prowess in battle -- it's in his healing touch.
