[Avodah] Pikuach Nefesh

By that thinking, what right is there to take down a rodef? Maybe he'll do 
teshuvah?

Rather, you judge the situation as it is right now, at this moment and leave 
the future to the future.

Or the hijackers might have done teshuvah.  They were not robots, they were
moral agents, fully responsible for their actions, and thus capable of
changing them.  Therefore nothing was inevitable.
