A question to you folks supporting the assassination: Are you ok with other nations taking up the same kind of policy? By claiming it as a valid way for a nation to deal with international disputes, we're implicitly endorsing other nations doing the same, perhaps to us.
They have been killing us, outside the rules of war, for decades.
Targeted assassinations would be a major improvement over terror bombings.
I'm asking if you think this is an acceptable practice for resolving international disputes. Should nations that do so be condemned as rogue states, or is this the new normal?
I think that pretending we can unilaterally set the rules, and play by them while ignoring what the other side does,
is arrogance and foolishness.
The rules of this conflict, are not what we would choose.
