I don't even think that's true. I think most people can envision a scenario where they'd feel justified in murdering someone, even while saying as a general rule, they shouldn't. There aren't a lot of people who actually have hard and fast moral rules that they would never break no matter how extreme the circumstances.
It doesn't even go as far as assassinations; how many people were upset about Osama Bin Laden's killing? How many would be sad to hear that someone had knocked off Vladimir Putin?
By and large, we're okay with someone being intentionally and strategically killed because they're a bad person who has done bad things. It's just a question of where the line is.
