Hate to disappoint you, but I disagree with Kant-like ideology. Murder and robbery/theft/larceny are two different things. Terrorism for a cause is one thing, and it has no straightforward road with me either. However, for someone to plant a bomb where there are women and children present is the utmost display of cowardess. Thass some punk shit!!! Bottom line.

Last time I checked, and it is the matter at hand, it was the government represented by the people, who decided this man's fate. Besides, he decided the fates of 168 people, of which he had NO authority to do so. just as fair it seems to me that "we who have no authority" took his life and called it a day.

I will say this, there is no morality in killing. Neither is there any justice in letting him live out the rest of his life hoping that he is psychologically tortured by the thoughts of his actions. I'd rather he die than for him to rott in jail until he's an old man.
