"So you are saying that local governments could just hire mercenaries that run around different countries (where permitted) and kill anyone they think is appropriate?" I don't think nations other than the U.S. should be allowed to do that, at least not without our permission.

So you are saying that local governments could just hire mercenaries that run around different countries No, I am thinking of operations like searching al Qaeda leaders in the Afghanistan/Pakistan border region during the last three years. ... and kill anyone they think is appropriate? Why kill? Living terrorists can deliver much more valuable information. If Saddam can be caught alive why not ObL? And re public pressure on non-cooperating governments??? Is that like North Korea, for instance? Like Libya.
