What if your killing that one person actually created a civil war?Gave someone even more disgusting their chance to run/ruin a country.
Also where would it end?Why not kill 10,000 people to ensure that a war never happens.Stalin worked on that theory after all.He killed all potential troublemakers before thay had even said a word.How many returning members of the Red Army from WW11 found themselves incarcerated before they could compare how much better the western system of capatalism was at feeding people than the communist system..
Killing one can often lead to killing more..It's not justified under any circumstances.

I see your point. However, that is slightly different to executing someone whose aim and intention is to commit genocide, and who actually went some way in his attempts. Further, he stabbed several police officers, killing one of them. That isn't someone who might become a troublemaker, that is one loaded gun with a hair trigger.
