Moral justification for the execution of criminals of war?
#50
RE: Moral justification for the execution of criminals of war?
While I am essentially against the death penalty in all it's forms...to me, when it comes to the Taliban...we have to cut the heads off the snakes.  It's not something that can be done at once, it's going to take time.  I don't have the issue with it that I do with the death penalty in general.

The list of people that I think the death penalty is the right thing for is quite limited.  But the heads of the Taliban are on that list.
I'm your huckleberry.
