Well you should've mentioned that. And even besides war crimes, say we found 1 person responsible for something like 9/11. Then would it be "morally acceptable" to kill him?

What about people who were put to death for crimes they did not commit? Are those acceptable losses? And if your answer is yes, ask yourself if you'd feel the same if you were in their shoes.
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.

It's never ok for innocent people to die. But it happens, every day.

Well it would be better than a "wait and see" plan,,good people die at the hands of killers everyday, sure we need to fix things.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL THAT DEFENDS HER..

Yeah, but should people die because of our necessity to have somebody to blame?
