I don't think this is a good argument UT. For one thing, it can too easily be turned against you by citing other genocides which the US (and other western nations) have refused to enter into because they've had nothing to gain from it.

Also, killing him once doesn't really count for all the people who were killed under his regimen. To add to that, once he's gone, there'll just be another to take his place.

Killing the bad guys doesn't rid the world of evil.
