If I'm bitten by a rabid dog and I have it put down, that's not
revenge. That's prudence. Faced with an incurable disease/mindset
capable of causing more misery/illness/death one finds oneself in the
invidious position of having to decide between several obviously
unpleasant and previously unacceptable alternatives. It's not fair - any
of it - but it's the situation nonetheless.
