- Assasination is not high on my list of persuasive arguments to present in
- a court of justice. Are we not now treated to the 'justifications' of the
- Chinese regime for their Tienanmen murders? Given that China could very well
- end up economically worse than the former USSR, and with starvation a much
- closer danger, is there not an argument that the democracy movement _had_ to
- be extinguished for the sake of millions of lives? Surely this is something
- to worry about when we consider killing Saddam Hussein for the sake of the
- Shiites, Kuwaitis and Kurds.
