Here is the justification for Krishna as given by a blogger:
":) If Tsunami could happen and kill thousands of people... God is there, and yet if this happened, i do not see much of a contradiction in Krishna playing a role in getting the forces that support Duryodhana killed..
:) To Krishna its just a play and he is beyond the play! The role of a charmer and the role of a politician. Krishna played both the roles. Krishna does not cheat. He says, if this is the rule of the game, ill use the rule effectively. He says in the Gita very clearly that even before Arjuna killed them they are dead! Death and Birth are the laws of nature"
The original questioner of the Blog is concerned as follows:
"And so against all rules of accepted chivalry,
it is all right to chop off Dronacharya's head after stunning him with false news of his son's death?
It is all right to kill Bhisma after shooting from behind a person of questionable sex who Bhisma, being a preux chevalier, would not attack?
It is all right to kill Karna in a completely wicked and treacherous manner?
It is ok to advise Bhima to aim his mace (gada) at Duryodhana's thigh, thereby shattering it, against the existing rule of battle?
Are these really righteous and unquestionable actions? And this person, who repeatedly gives crooked advice, is the one we must turn to for learning about ethics and ethical conduct?"
