So you can bomb and kill the leader of a country's
son and children, but you expect your embassies to remain safe because of Diplomatic arrangements.

Are these fucking imperialists batshit crazy?

3. Let's use another example.
What would have happened if we had killed the Japanese emperor's children during WWII. Would the emperor have surrendered? Who knows? We do not know how a leader will react.

4. I hope you have the same view when world powers
change (as they always do) and the next set of goons come for the family of your leaders.
This is fucking illegal and they know it.

5. Crazy? Arrogant would be the more likely word.

6. Are oil wars crazy or suicidal
and would be stopped naturally if not for a continuing source of atrocities?

The Empire's reason to be?

7. The UN is going to close its mission in Libya because it was attacked
by a mob. People just don't tolerate being bombed like they used to.

8. Here, I thought targeted assassinations were frowned upon.

I guess when it is done by the US/West it is okay.

9. Amazing isn't it
I am slowly coming to the conclusion that fewer and fewer people on this planet operate by either convictions or basic standards of right versus wrong.
It's all about 'my way or the highway'.

Fuck it - this was illegal.
