I'm sorry, but what makes the assassination of the leader of Hamas and different from, say, American attempts to kill Bin Laden by airstrike? And don't tell me that a man's disablility makes him any less innocent. Any leader who convinces his followers that sending their teenage children to commit suicide "for the good of the nation" is not serving his own people. If the Palestineans would realize, along with the Israelis, that neither side will achieve their ends through violence, perhaps they would be closer to a solution. But instead, the leaders of Hamas and Fatah have decided that their sole goal is to kill all Israelis and completely rid them from the land, which they will never achieve. If the Palestinean means to their goal is cold blooded murder of innocent civilians, they give the Israelis the carte blanche to kill the leader of an internationally recognized terrorist organization.
And if the United Nations wants to hypocritically deny Israel the right of self protection, then it is the United States' duty to protect its rights.
