Or the Romans.
Or the Brits.
Or any country that's survived to the modern day.
They'll just laugh in your face.
The Vikings didn't raid to be jackasses, they raided to live.
Were the people they attacked innocent? Yes.
But did the Vikings need to eat? Yes.
It would be nice if the world was so abundant, that we could all have enough to go around and nobody had to fight. But that's not the case.
And if survival is faulty logic, I'd rather be faulty than right.
Again, if you think the human species got as far as it did out of being kind and generous to everybody I think your perception of our race as a whole is naive. Call people innocent, if you'd like, but in the end it comes down to survival. If killing another man means you get to live, I can't see how any law of nature would make it wrong.
