Ageed. The title is chilling. This is no comparison, but it's on my mind. I just saw a Bollywood movie where the audience cheered uproariously when the "bad guys" were murdered. They deserved to be taken out of action, sure. But, can't we deal with the "bad guys" without taking their life - which in a way, let's them get off easy. And, like you say, how do we get to the root cause of anything (poverty, power, etc), if we kill the leading bad-guy. There will always be another "bad guy." They'll just keep coming and coming.
