I'll take your avoidance of the question as a yes.

I think you'll find that the proposed victims of the prevented suicide bombers and their offspring would beg to differ, as an example.

If you are saying you can have both then that is your opinion, youre quite entitled to it, but you can only, in my book anyway, have one thing or the other, if hypocrisy is not to be seen to be playing a part.
The only issue I have with the death penalty being used in general circumstances is that guilt cannot be guarenteed 100% of the time.
So as a mass punishment, I am against it.
Taking a single case in exceptional circumstances such as Saddams, I see no benefit in keeping him alive.
