Moral justification for the execution of criminals of war?
#38
RE: Moral justification for the execution of criminals of war?
It used to be that the death penalty was a deterrent to the more sane criminal types. But with the soft methods we now use - lethal injection - it' s less so.

Now - the worst penalty is " being put to sleep" like a beloved pet.....


Crucifixion or disembowling on the other hand might actually make some people think twice about killing the neighbor...
