>Indeed, sadly selfdefense can never be reworded in a pro-active manner. And I'm just echoing normal legal practice. I can't kill somebody and NOT be prosecuted when the only defense I have is that the other was planning to harm but wasn't actually doing that at the time of my lethal response. Your law system works the same, at least when it comes down on the definition of "self-defense"

<br>Oh, and my brother the attorney says you're wrong about self defence, in both countries, the standard, you may even have heard, is "clear and present danger" Meaning, If somebody should make a quick, non-lethal slice into me with a lethal weapon, followed by adopting a menacing posture, or uttering threats, or refusing to leave my premesis on clear orders, and I'm free to blaze away, tapdance on his corpse and finger-paint obsenities on his chest.
<br>I'd describe killing 6000 people, from 69 countries, then calling for death to all Americans, "clear and present danger" in any court except yours, Wout.
