[quote name='camoor'][quote name='elprincipe'][quote name='camoor'][quote name='elprincipe'][quote name='camoor'][quote name='elprincipe'][quote name='camoor'][quote name='elprincipe']I don't think the government has the right to deprive someone of life.

Sure it does. What do you think is happening in Iraq?[/quote]
A ridiculous analogy and you know it.

It most certainly is not!
What do you think the government does when congress approves a war and the president launches it? Do you think they don't realize that we are authorizing our men and women to kill enemy men and women?[/quote]
That is hardly the same as executing someone who has been convicted of a crime, is it?[/quote]
Exactly my point. If the government can authorize the killing of Iraqi men and women who oppose "the american way of life" (or whatever we're fighting for in Iraq now), then they certainly have the right to execute a sadistic serial killer-rapist who actually deserves death.[/quote]
I'm not arguing about that right now in this thread, but at least I see you conceded the point.[/quote]
Now I'm really confused. What is your assertion, that the government shouldn't have the power to declare war?[/quote]
My assertion was that you asserting that killing people in war and executing criminals are the same thing was entirely incorrect.
