Governments are not against assasinations. But generally, they arrange it so that trusted guards/friends who are fellow countrymen of the victim actually do the job, so the governments concerned are not directly implicated. It's been done before and will be done again.
Maybe the US should hire the Mafia? They are pretty good at sneaky assasinations like that. I'm only half joking, btw! ------------------ |

I'm ok. How's yourself? Just been listening to a Jeremy Paxman interview with Colin Powell. Seems like a very sensible chap, not hawkish, but not mawkish, either. Sensible and practical. Not the sort to send out the bombers and the missiles, by the sound of it. ------------------ |

However, what you are talking is of course a step towards real world government. There is a lot of resistance to such notions from people afraid of giving up local autonomy to a far away world body -- and with good reason. |

However, when it comes to dictators and tyrants enslaving and impoverishing millions, then we need to look at some kind of world body, I do believe. Very difficult in practice, but that's no reason not to attempt it! ------------------ |

Such an international body would possess more credibility on the world scene than merely the US acting alone and other countries going along for the ride. It cut be sort of a loose federation set up by treaty of the member nations. |
