Not necessarily; sometimes the system is supported by the man. I doubt Russia would have been the way it was for much of the 20th century had Stalin not been around.

I have long supported assassination as an extremely cost-effective method of policy/regime change in other nations. If you're not willing to risk your life to lead your country in the way in which you beleive to be the "best" or "right" way, then 1) you don't have very strong beliefs and 2) you shouldn't be in charge.

Israel admits to such things because Israel isn't afraid of anyone. They can guilt others into tolerating their behavior....
