The Belmont Club makes an interesting observation regarding assassination of leaders. He observes that killing leaders is what works, not killing illiterate future suicide bombers. Reflecting upon this, there is no doubt that had somebody pulled the plug on Hitler or Stalin lots of horrors would have been prevented. Yet it is dangerous to stretch this analogy too far. It depends on who takes over and whether or not you can get him too. Graham Greene, the now out of fashion novelist, made an observation in some book or other as a detective grills a bad priest. The priest finally replies that the church does not rest on one priest, that the church is bigger than any individual or groups of individuals. Following this up is the obvious question: when do you stop killing leadership? I think there is going to be war and that Europe will be on the wrong side. The French working out with their new pals, the Communist Chinese, won't help. All this helps Bush. The only thing is that the always wrong Dick Morris thinks Bush will win by a landslide.
