if you have not a care for human life, and would rather try to blow up thousands of people if given the chance, would you call yourself human? The reason i ask is, would you have any problem putting a gun to a known terrorist head and pulling the trigger? iono if i could do it yet, because i haven't been in that situation. but lets just make one really quick. you are in a room with Osama bin Laden, you have a 9mm and are alone. he is asleep and can't hear you. nobody will hear your shot because you are silenced. one shot one kill. would you pull the trigger?
Are terrorist humans?

I believe in Capital punishment for proven murderers (many terrorists would fit that bill), rapists, and pedophiles, where there is no doubt they are guilty.
Under those circumstances, give me a loaded gun and Legal authority, I'd put a bullet in their head.

Sadly I think that many people make the same mistake that many extremists make - the dehumanization of other human beings. So much of the terrorism in the world occurs today because people are viewed as "less than" others.
The last thing I would ever want to become is like those who think and believe this way. I have always refused to sink to the level of those who have hurt me both personally or culturally.
I know I could not pull the trigger on another human. In fact I think I would find it difficult to do to an animal.
And I think people like Osama need to be brought to a court of justice. They need to be confronted by their accusors. One person taking the law into their own hands would deprive many people of an opportunity for closure. I think all the victims of the terror that Osama has brought on others deserve more than that.
Just my opinion though but I can understand the feelings a person would have to want to do it

One person's terrorist is another's hero. Your hero could be another county's terrorist. I guess that you are free to shoot anyone you want, if you have a gun.
What about the rule of law? Bush advocated the international rule of law(not that he followed it).
