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.
The problem with this claim is that you are being selective. You are deciding who lives and who dies according to your morals. What if someone else says taliban should live? What if someone says you should die for certain action?
A general rule needs to be established. Otherwise we are gods of death and justice.
