Ultimate tool of oppression - no not really. It kills less people than war does. Although you do run the risk of hitting on the right ones...... We aren't talking about a head of state in this particular case - this is an individual terrorist. Although personally, I would rather see him prosecuted in a court of law, if he could be got hold of.
