Same for Lutherans, exactly.

But that doesn't mean that there isn't an ethical difference, does it?

If we are now killing babies by failing to make war on Iraq, then we were
also killing babies by supporting sanctions.  Unless the "we" in those
sentences is the whole human race, I don't think it makes any sense to think
this way.  And if it is the whole human race, then the question of whom to
blame goes right out the door.
