Answer:

I Disagree with the Barbers decision not to kill Captain Torres. True it would be difficult to take the life of another human. However, would it not be worse to let a man live so that he or those who he commands may mutilate, torture and then kill an infinite number of people under his command. Put in the barbers position i would not view the death of this man as murder, rather that of an act of retribution. He was a sadistic man who gained pleasure from the death of the rebels. He proves this when he tells the Barber when he says, "Without any effort I could go straight to sleep." Despite the horrible deaths he saw and was responsible for. Also when asked what he plans for the 14 remaining rebels he reply's with, "I don't know yet. But we'll amuse ourselves," as if it is a game. I believe that this man deserved to die so that others may live despite the consequences for the greater good.
