I would hope that all faiths value killing terrorist scumbags with drone missiles, angus.
Just asking why that's so different from valuing killing remorseless serial killers and child rapists, something death penalty opponents characterize as people's "blood lust."
To play devil's advocate, killing people in a war can be necessary in a way that the death penalty isn't.
That's true, but droning isn't a "necessity," it is our (very reasonable and justified, IMO) intentional, effort-filled response to them attacking us. A rather coherent argument can be made that a "remorseless serial killer" is making a rather similar attack on the civilized world and deserves the same punishment.
