Agreed. But just because something didn't work out in the past, does that mean you shouldn't continue to try?

You are for a war, which is intended to bring down a dictator, but not for an assassination, even if both are deemed necessary by our government? Seems a little weird that your position stands like that... One way thousands upon thousands die, included innocents, and the other way, only a few, which is less than 1% most likely would initially die.

Although, I guess the key word there is initially. There would most likely be a war to follow if that were to happen, but who's to say that once he is dead, the country won't just collapse and start from fresh?
