Moral justification for the execution of criminals of war?

[The Architect Of Fate]

I'd think so.  Technically, if you pulled a plug on a 95 year-old nazi war criminal who's dying of terminal cancer without his consent, that's an execution.  Nobody's going to be satisfied by the justice of that, though.

That's simply a bad thing to do

The idea that someone has deprived others of the best years of their lives, but should live out his remaining days under the care and supervision of a prison, with all the many rights and privileges that entails, seems unjust, no? What if your wife or children were slaughtered by an axe murderer because of the color of their skin-- would you not rather see him drawn and quartered than let them live out their days relatively happily, watching TV re-runs and eating food that you pay for?

Nope it's perfectly just and what civilized society would do

There's a lot of talk about not wanting to live in a savage society. But savagery and downright evil are important parts of the human experience and instinct, and there's no reason they can't have their place, too.

Yes, there is they are our worst nature, and their no reason to indulge in it.

Here's a fair punishment for the rape and slaughter of a child-- 1 hour in a room with the father, no questions asked.

How about no?
