Oh yes, that's a good point - I had actually forgotten about what would have happened had Ben not killed Keamy - he would have torched the island and everyone woud have died.
Even in his disorientated rage, Ben still made the greater good choice..the
ultilitarian choice.

Interestingly, it is a shame he did not somehow and miraculously incapacitate Keamy and then move the Island because his 'C4-Pulse' device would have been rendered useless.

True...his device must have a distance limit. Although it makes me wonder how it even worked that far underground.

I cannot justify Ben's 'motives' here but people tend to act unrationally in severe circumstances and mental states.

Indeed..I also cannot condone any death, however Ben was clearly not thinking staight (who would be after seeing Keamy shoot their only daughter through the head and leave her body for the crows?) but surely most of us can understand what uncontrollable rage this would summon up inside a person.
