Then you think the USA should help in the killing. If you mean, BY NOT PREVENTING IT, we're helping it... Then so be it. The matter is an issue that must be resolved between the Palestinians and Israelis. I don't think the British would have been too keen on the US telling them not to kill Hitler. It's one thing to sanction the assassination of a democratically elected government THAT ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS THAT ELECTED THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE and QUITE ANOTHER to assassinate a totalitarian regime that used the democratic process to destroy those institutions and wage a war of annihilation (the Hamas charter calls for the destruction of Israel). Another way to look at this is, had the German people KNOWN that Hitler was preparing to wage a war of conquest against the rest of Europe, then they should have thought about the consequences at the ballot box PRIOR to casting their vote. Do you think, along with Robertson, that the USA should kill Chavez as well? The minute Hugo Chavez calls for the annihilation of a neighboring country.. then yes.. that country has the right to assassinate him. Especially if it prevents an even greater bloodshed that would result from the clash between the two nations. Same thing with Castro. Same thing with the Saudis.. Same thing with Kim Jong Il.. (we have suffered sufficient provocation to warrant his assassination should we get the opportunity). Hawk
