2. "if we didn’t kill him, he was going to ... kill us"
I don't think he had anywhere near that kind of power.

Acting alone, he could have done virtually nothing.

Acting after his death, others can certainly perpetrate more needless violence.

I don't care that he's dead. I don't feel sorry for him.

But I don't think we won much of anything.

I don't think much has changed.
