<You can't read, can you Jacob.>

I read Nadine, who posted:

< this will require Arafat's death>

Which sounds to me like approval of Israel's policy of "targetted assassination", applied to Arafat. If she really meant "waiting till Arafat dies of natural causes", perhaps she could clarify. That's not what it sounded like she was advocating.

And I read you supporting her position. You seem to be saying that the only way to get dictators out of power, is to kill them.

<They either die in their sleep after a long life of tyranny that lasts and wastes the lives of generations of their country's own citizens, or they are killed by their own people or military in a coup.>

Lots and lots of examples, from recent history, of dictatorial governments being overthrown by peaceful methods, without killing the dictators. South Korea, South Africa, the entire Soviet Empire (except Rumania).

Perhaps you could clarify: do you support "targetted assassinations", as a solution to political or military conflicts? And if so, applied to who?
