If you would apply that rule equally, fairly, to friend and foe, then maybe I'd go along with you. The problem is, you don't. Your last two posts seem to argue against the practicality of such an assisination and not the ethics. This seems quite a bit different than what you had written a couple of messages upstream. Message 19001711 My reaction, when I read people calling for Arafat's murder (as you just did), is exactly the same as when I read of people praising Palestinian suicide bombers. Strip away all the "nuance", all the hair-splitting, and those two acts (one of which you condemn, and the other you hope for) are identical. Identical in thought, identical in result. I dont know how to read the above passage without coming to the conclusion that there is a moral equivalence to the acts. Slacker
