I don't like Castro, and I would not mourn his death. But I most certainly would not wish it upon him.

I would, and I do. Just like I did for Arafat and Idi Amin, or Saddam Hussein and his sons. They have caused immeasurable pain and suffering and death. They didn't/don't need to 'wish' death on people...they can make it happen.

That said, I wouldn't have 'wished' death upon Chris Penn just because he had an bigmouthed idiot for a brother.

What you seek is justice. And I agree that that is valid. I think the bible is pretty clear about motive and sin. To wish death on someone is immoral, from my understanding of the bible. To enact justice on the immoral is justified and proper. If you enact the penalty of death upon a criminal, you are in no way wishing for their death. They have brought that burden upon themselves. Justice is not an emotion, a wish implies one.
