They also could have used that on Khomeni in Paris in the '70s.

I do wonder why Milosevic isn't behind bars by now. Hasn't the west been calling for his head for several years?

FWIW

<< Don't you think it is interesting that we have made it against the law to send a loan undercover assassin to use one bullit to make the hit, but it is OK to spend 30billion to accomplish the equivalent with superbombing technology. >>

The executive order, started by President Ford, that prohibits personal assassination is an idealistic and ineffective policy. We need safeguards put in place against political abuse, but the policy should be "quietly" annulled.

As you implied, it does seem foolish to spend $30 billion, and destroy a nation's infrastructure, when Xena would probably get rid of Slob and Dog Face for nothing.
