You realize the only way this logic works is if you assume that 100% of people who put down their weapons or walk away after planting a bomb are not likely to raise up a gun again or manage to plant a bomb unseen at a later time.
An assumption that's amazingly idiotic.
No, I wouldn't say that. Nor would I say you save any lives by killing him. There are plenty of people to plant what he won't be able to. There is no link between the two. So, while I understand what you're saying, the nature of this conflict, and others like it, does not work that way IMHO. There are too many in line to take his place. And even more are added if you kill civilians in the process of getting him. Which may be more likely to lead to more deaths than getting this one individual.
