So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs.

Well private money can take risks in a way that government money often isn't willing to.
The general will rules in society as the private will governs each separate individual.
Governments regard their own citizens as their main enemy, and they have to be - protect themselves. That's why you have state secret laws. Citizens are not supposed to know what their government is doing to them.
I'd like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private individuals.
I think it is tragic that a situation should arise where civilians on any side are killed. But it is almost a cliche to say that it is virtually unavoidable and this isn't unique to us alone.
A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.
Any private security is a joke in a country where you're up against your own government.
Nothing in human life is inherently private.
Violence is not to be undertaken by private persons. If a state or administration acts without due and visible attention to agreed international process, it acts in a way analogous to a private person. It purports to be judge of its own interest.
We believe that government works for the benefit of private life, and not the other way around.
