Supposition and speculation have no part in judging an axiom such as this.
Dress up the axiom however you like but executing anyone - much less the 'factually innocent' - is psychopathological.
As long as we have these things called human beings which we try to govern, who are prone to independent thought and susceptible to neurosis and psychosis, we will suffer this dilemma.
It is our responsibility to seek out a more perfect condition, but it is still our duty to uphold to the greatest extent possible the system that we have.
This argument would bring Super Soakers and Nerf cannons to the military, because murdering soldiers who are on a side of a conflict aligned politically or ideologically at odds with our interests shouldn't have to die.
Wishing for utopia is not a bad thing, but to fail to use rational thought and cognitive ability by crying about a problem with out proposing a solution puts you firmly in the category of the neurotic.
And thank you for handing me a victory by making the debate a personal one with your last sentence. ha ha ha ha
