As for the death penalty, if it can be proven beyond all doubt that person " a" murdered person(s) " b" then I say if you take a life or lives you deserve no less, however to drop bombs into massed areas to target the few imo is wrong.
I am open in the circumstances that I see execution favourable, sadly this government are not so forthcoming.
I see no benefit in keeping sadam alive either, but our government say they do not condone execution under " humanitarian " grounds, yet will order, yes that word " order " mass bombings.
They cant attempt to wipe the blood from their hands by claiming " collateral damage " but they do, which is where hypocrisy comes into the mix imo.

The world is not black and white but shades of grey.
You've heard the phrase "lesser of two evils" when posed with destroying an insurgent stronghold and occupants, along with their civilian neighbours, that is the lesser of two evils compared with inaction allowing them to blow up hundreds of civilians or cause a religious backlash by attacking a mosque or religious site.
The only really good thing to come out of a war is the end.
Pretty much everything between the begining and the end is bad or neutral.
