Why pretend life does not have a price. We price it everyday. A 100,000 people have died in Syria, mostly under horrific circumstances. Cost/benefit analysis dictates that no one should intervene and indeed, no one will in spite of the alleged chlorine attacks. Meanwhile the taxpayer shells out a lot of money to keep dysfunctional killers alive, preserving that which they denied to their victims and thus a necessary link between action and consequence is broken. That said, I reluctantly conclude that the death penalty should go because the greater evil is the possible death of an innocent.
