In that the government can declare a "legal" war - but individuals 
can't?  I don't believe that war could be "organized", but that's just 
me.

I too remember duelling laws - or conventions.  Perhaps that is 
where I'm getting that niggling feeling of our hero's being in the 
wrong.  Rather than breaking a law by participating in the duel - 
they transgressed on the conventions therein?
