Placing those kinds of bogus conditions on killing people is just the first step in rationalizing the stuff. Everyone knows killing OBL wouldn't end anything.

But all that aside, you have unequivocally joined the I am willing to execute people without trials club.
Hardly. I'm talking in terms of net benefit. Is killing 3,001 people a good thing? On the surface, no. But is it still bad if it would save millions? 3,001 lives to end a war?
That's worth considering.
