TWR - //Did I see you use the Word "Moral" A.H. I have morals & its not killing people. if you feel bad about it, start a collection for their families. //
You did see me use the word 'moral' because, as I have advised, I believe that if you 'rejoice' in the death of one or more strangers, you exempt yourself from being upset when others do the same.
You have yet to address the point I am making - if you wish to?

Sqad - //Now............is it reasonable to wait, in this case under discussion? //
That is impossible to answer - because none of us can see into the future.
If the inference is that it is better that these two men are dead because of what they may have gone on to do, then that surely applies to anyone anywhere.
Should someone shoot President Trump tomorrow because he may press the nuclear button on Saturday?
The premise does not hold up.

"If the inference is that it is better that these two men are dead because of what they may have gone on to do, then that surely applies to anyone anywhere. "
Yes that IS the inference and one has to take the case on it's merits.i.e two young Muslims, educated in the UK join an established and accepted brutal terrorist movement.
That is you scenario.
I don;t think, although I do not know that Trump has an association with a terrorist or any other violent and ruthless society.
Your comparison is not accepted be me.

That’s irrational. These two men had joined ISIS. There is no question of waiting to see what they would do. They’d done it! //
As I see it, the irrationality lies in the presumption that joining ISIS is a one-way ticket to the commission of terrorist activities which result in the deaths of innocent people.
That is a presumption which, in my view, does not stand.
But that is actually a side issue, standing apart from the moral dilemma I suggested to TWR, which remains unexplored from his or her side.

Talbot - //No problem - but by taking that view, you remove from yourself the right to be in any way upset or angry when you see an Isis terrorist rejoicing in the death of someone his or her organisation has killed.
Bonkers! //
Succinct - but uninformative, as usual - care to explain the background behind that conclusion?

It's not a presumption - that's what ISIS does.
As for what you call ‘the moral dilemma’, in my opinion there isn’t one.
It doesn’t follow that the KKK’s endorsement of Trump is reciprocated. That suggestion is spiteful.

Naomi - // That suggestion is spiteful. //
My suggestion that President Trump - a racist every time he breathes in and out - would not appreciate endorsement from his country's - if not the world's premier racist organisation, is 'spiteful'?
No problem, happy to be 'spiteful' then - except I'm not, just in your opinion, which isn't actually of vital importance.
