8. I don't support extrajudicial killings, period.
Targeting him with drone strikes and bombs will kill more innocent civilians.

Killing to prevent killing rarely works. It just continues the cycle of violence. Do we really want to reproduce what we have been doing in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan? Targeting individuals, and killing lots of innocent people in the process.

I understand he is reprehensible, but targeting him won't make us safer. And, sets a dangerous precedent. Do we really want that type of authority to be in the hands of the next repug president?
