Other than the sniper can see the target's eyes. The missile is impersonal. I wonder what it would be like to look through a 'scope and see Bin Laden's eyes as you pull the trigger to end his life...
Normally, I'm a softie but that is one time I would not be.
I was listening to NPR this afternoon and there was a story about assassinations ordered by the Executive branch and how Ford had terminated that type of activity during his administration. They made a statement that it seemed the American people didn't look kindly on assassination and I wondered if that were true. Is it the American people or the Press? I'm not making judgments here; I'm just wondering. The press does insert itself into stories and sometimes they ask questions to get the answers they want.
"Do you believe the U.S. should have assassination teams kill leaders of other countries with which we have disagreements?" No.
"Should Bin Laden be killed?" Yes.
"Should Ahmadinejad be killed?" Yes.
"Would you object to an assassination team taking out Ahmadinejad?" Yes.
I wonder if it isn't all in how you put it...
