If it is a matter of survival, i'd say sell them or execute them.

edgewalker69

The mission before the man SwiftRage

edgewalker69

can't you just let them go and fate will decide?

edgewalker69

Well out of your hands

edgewalker69

what do you owe thwm?

edgewalker69

them

edgewalker69

I know it

edgewalker69

They call it utilitarianism

edgewalker69

Greatest good for the greatesst number

edgewalker69

however, if that was one of my family, i'd pick the group to die

edgewalker69

A major concern is if morality is universal or particular

edgewalker69

Arguably, you toke them into captivity and thus sealed their fate anyway

edgewalker69

the moral decision was made long ago

edgewalker69

by them

edgewalker69

When your ancestor King Richard toke Antioch in the 3rd crusade, he executed several thousand prisoners, because he lacked the supplies to feed them. I'd say the prisoners knew the risk when they toke up arms against the King. Wouldnt you agree?

edgewalker69

So if morality is universal, he would immoral, but if morality is particular, he was in the right.

edgewalker69

I should add to the story, as the King executed the prisoners infull view of Saladin's army, they imminently executed all their prisoners too.

edgewalker69

What a world back then

edgewalker69

Remember I told you the concept of the \"nation\" \"tribe\" \"clan\" and \"family\" may offer some insight into this issue. The game changer for the west, is the emergence of Jesus Christ, believe it or not.

edgewalker69

In Rome, the concept of the individual did not exist, you were part of your family, and everything you did reflected on your family and its honor.

edgewalker69

So if you insulted someone from another family, your family was fair game

edgewalker69

This is till the same in the middeleast
