 Actually, no, I'm not.  There have been instances in the past when if some terrible person died early, the planet would be a better place.  Prime example, Hitler.  And Assad.

A common misconception.
A simple example, in brief:
The German army had an excellent general staff.  The Allies used several maneuvers designed to fool the German army as to their actual intentions.  History has shown that, in many of these instances, the general staff was not fooled but Hitler was; and he overrode the decisions of the general staff.  Had Hitler not been in charge and had the general staff been allowed to make to follow through on their own decisions, the outcome might have been just as bad as allowing Edith Keeler to live (reference to "The City on the Edge of Forever" in Star Trek).
Getting rid of Himmler, now...
