A 'count-by-numbers' guide to assassinating foreign leaders...
1.Who are you and who are you assassinating?
2 .How are you going to assassinate them? Black ops/covert or go in with the US flag on your back and a CNN helicopter in the sky above you?
3. Why is one method better than the other in this situation? (are you merely trying to remove a malicious influence without starting a war (in which case, black ops) or are you trying to send a message to dictators everywhere (Stars and Stripes and CNN)?
4. Why do we need to assassinate the person in question?
4a: Why are they a bad person?
4b: Why are they worse than all the other bad people?
4c: Do they hold a special place in te destruction of their country or would someone easily replace them?Is it because there is a 'cult of the leader' (eg: Kim Jong Il
4d: Why will the country not descend into chaos with their death?
5. Is their country likely to retaliate either against you or their neighbours?
6. Why don't we traditionally assassinate someone and why is this situation different enough from the norm to merit breaching this convention?
Hope it helps. Enjoy ridding the world of murderous dictators and remember, real world and debate world are a universe apart!
