I just feel that execution just lionizes the use of murder to obtain justice, placing the idea in peoples minds that those whom are evil should be slain. This leads to murders by people who mistakenly believe themselves judge, jury, and executioner. We basically support the idea of murder as just when we murder people who are helpless to stop us from killing them if we decide to. It isn't the same as war, since war is either a matter of self-defense, and so is just, or is not, and so is likely not just (unless there is a persuasive reason maybe? I might tighten this up).

As it is, killing someone is of no use, at least when it doesn't somehow magically bring back those they slew. Revenge is no true comfort to a grieving family, it doesn't bring back those they lost.
