   Not when the assumption within the question is Wrong.

   No lying involved, and as a Politician, no one in My community has   
   used such terms in any descriptive way.   
      
   You have Moral Perfection on your side here, Lobby.   
      
   So -- use it and answer My question.   
      
   The situation is clear:   
      
   The Mob is half a block away, armed and coming to kill You and three   
   members of Your family. Unless stopped, it'll be here in ten minutes.   
   It is not open to negotiation on your fate.   
      
   The helicopters called to evacuate you and your family are 20 minutes   
   away, though. Not enough time to get you and yours out before the   
   confrontation starts.   
      
   So -- gotta Decide something right quicklike.   
      
   My mission as explained was specifically and explicitly to protect   
   Murken Lives whenever possible. It is possible for me to do that by   
   opening fire. There is apparently no other option available at the   
   moment.   
      
   My troops are good folks. I trained them. They are competent shots,   
   highly disciplined, have sufficient ammunition to last through any   
   firefight, their positions and fields of fire are in good order. I   
   trust Them and They trust Me.   
      
   The decision is mine to take: Do I open fire into the mob in order to   
   save the lives of You and Your Family?   
      
   Make the call, Dosser.   
      
   Use your highly developed sense of Perfect Morality that does not   
   depend on the situation at hand to do it.   
      
   Do I open fire into the crowd or not?   
      
   What is Right and what is Wrong here?   
      
   Do you know?   
      
   How?
