Assasination Politics has been an interesting topic of conversation on other lists over the years. An objective participant in these discussions can easily come to the following conclusions;
Assasination Politics is as vehemently anti-american a concept as can concieved.
a) there is no greater denial of rights than murder, which is what assasination is.
Assasination Politics after the fact, as was referred to earlier is not politics at all, but rather some twisted type of vengance, which is best left to higher powers in the first place, and secondly could hardly be more counter productive to a cause.
I am greatful to live in a land where these ideas can be discussed, if even in hushed tones, but some research will show that assasination is murder, no more, no less. While there are some beautific arguments concerned with speculation about an assasination of Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and others, one does well to keep in mind that most these discussions take place in the full light of hindsight.
I understand that a great deal of these utterings take place in jest, but not everyone does, regardless of disclaimer.
Bad guys are bad guys, one does what one has to do to protect and defend. An enemy soldier is an enemy soldier, one does ones duty. A fellow citizen, even a criminal, has the right to a trial by peer. Our law is pretty miserable by some standards, but it is the best law I have heard of, (yes I have lived elsewhere) and I did take an oath to uphold and defend it, and last I checked, no one relieved me of that oath.
Lets hear no more of this. It does no one honor. Run a search on Assasination Politics if you want to know more. But lets keep it off this list, it is not really germaine.
