Nothing to argue since possibility of taking him alive is out of equation.
Funny how those little technicalities can change the whole perspective and morality issue.

I guess it wouldn´t. You need confirmation of the killing and you don´t want to leave a body behind. So going down there was the only real solution. Besides only people directly involved were killed/harmed, which is a good PR side effect.
