If you want a bad leader out of power, and his options are to remain in power or be executed, then he's going to fight to the death. But before his death, that will cause the death of a lot of other people.

You don't think we should place any value on the dictator's life? Fine. Place some value on the lives of the people who would die to kick him out.
