It was very sad that she was killed considering her life, but Jon had no real choice. Tyrion was right -- Danaerys speech to the Unsullied and Dothraki made it very clear that she was going to fight more battles -- he list of targets actually included Winterfell itself.
My pre-show prediction was that it was going to be portrayed as sort of temporary insanity, and that she'd be so distraught over what she'd done that she'd leave Westeros and return to Essos. But as it turned out, it wasn't temporary at all.
Bitch had to be put down, and she was.
I also thought she was going to go back to Essos but not after the burning of Kings landing. After I rewatched the finale, her last speech to Jon is pretty clear that she didn't see anything she did as bad. She says it in a calm voice and it was the same stuff she has always said. After her actions of burning Kings landing those same words feel completely different and are just as scary as her speech to the unsullied and the Dothraki.
