Fairness In Assassinations

[DogOnPorch]

Nonesense! Shah and Farah fled the country many times during his reign....

Twice.

Once during the first attempted coup when his efforts failed.

Another during the Iranian Revolution.

Mossadeq faced similar trials when the Tudeh Party turned on him during the 1953 coup and tried to hijack events Bolshevik-style.

Russians meddling in Chechnya is another example.

The very thread makes the supposition there can be fairness in assassinations. It is an absurd, illogical, cognitively challenged assumption

.

Suffice it to say any killing is a failure of humanity to resolve an issue civilly. This thread in my opinion is a lame attempt at rationalizing Muslim terrorist extremism.

If you use the word assasination when killing somebody don't you then elevate that person to a position of importance?

The word does imply that the reason is political. I guess if someone is killed for political reasons then they are important enough to have been targeted.

The word assassination does not imply the reason for their killing was political - another illogical statement. Assasination is associated with killing someone of importance. Their importance could be for any reason including political ones but the word does not imply it, the nature of the target's reputation and what they were known for was.

As for this nonsensical thread its attempt to in a half assed and babbling manner try equate the targetting of terrorists with their being assassinations speaks for itself. For some they find moral equivalency between Abraham Lincoln, JFK, MLK, RFK and scum.

Thanks for your opinion.

I know that when I see a "nonsensical thread its attempt to in a half assed and babbling manner" then I ignore it - as I do many of your submissions.

I suggest that you follow my lead and do the same.
