Kill the Iranian leaders. That will put a damper on their plans to kill more Americans.
When waging war one can not be afraid of killing our enemies.
A mistake our county has made for decades.
“Kill the Iranian leaders.”
Several years ago I read someone’s PhD dissertation on political assassination. The study went back as far as Julius Caesar and concluded that in no case did the assassin achieve his political objectives.
Having known and worked with numerous Iranians I can tell you that their thinking can be as alien to Western thought as if they were a different species from Mars. We simply can’t model their reactions based on what we think our own would be.
I no longer have the ability to search academic databases but I did find a similar NYT’s article on the subject. The conclusion paragraph says essentially the same thing the dissertation did about the assassin succeeding in his aims.
From the NYT’s article:
“Have assassinations altered the course of American history? Yes, but not in the way that the assassins desired. The very heinousness of the crime has generally led to a reaction against the assassin’s objectives.”
That's Israel's job. But we can certainly do our part to help them
“Kill the Iranian leaders. That will put a damper on their plans to kill more Americans.”
Go Michael Corleone on them.
