If Hitler or Stalin were alive today, right infront of you, would you support their death of penatly? Before you voice your opinion, let me voice mine - I don't support it. Not because I feel sorry for Hitler or Stalin, but think about it, does revenge ever bring anything good? Let's say we shoot Hitler/Stalin, do we get a better world? No. Do those dead arise? No. Do we protect ourselves from future dictators? No. So whats the point? Vengeance? Mind I remind you that because of vengeance hunderds of people die in Palestine? Using the same philosophy death-penalty supporters use, which is "When someone kills someone innocent, he should be killed". Dont the shiites and sunnites use the same philosophy? Take for an example the killing of shiite colonel's 3 children. The chain of revenge will start and since each side stands on revenging the other, the conflict will never end. Same thing is applied to death-penalty for me. I'd never endorse using the same princles as those who are judged
