How can wanting someone dead ever be logical? I understand not liking someone, or disagreeing with their policies, but wanting them dead seems a bit extreme.

I don't think "logical" means what you think it does. Are you sure you don't mean "moral", or "acceptable"?

Do you believe there are any cases where one could justifiably kill in self-defense, or are you a pure pacifist?
