Re: The Assassination of Hostile Foreign Leaders . . .
Hi Dan,
I would have to vote no on this one...
...specifically because execution of leaders is reminiscent of Bolshevik tactics and anarchists.
The law banning execution is a good one. If the US - thw worlds superpower supports assassination we invite the same for our own President and leaders.
For every nation which decides we are an enemy - can then justify killing our leaders and point to our own laws when we protest.
If and when we go after folks - it is done with an intent to capture and try them.
This is a good law - and bin Laden may tempt one to make exceptions - but this would really hurt the US much more than help it!!!!
Best wishes,
