#1 I made the comment to the BBC discussion on this - a comment they chose not to print - that he has a dangerous moral equivalency problem here.

Since he says it would be "morally justified" if somebody killed Blair and feels that to be ok -- why then if somebody else felt "morally justified" to have him killed and took out a hit order on him... he would have no "moral grounds" to even be upset over it.

In addition, even though he is to stupid to see it, he as advocation a world based on the concept of "black anarchy". To see how well that works perhaps he should live in the bad areas of Somalia for awhile and see how much he likes it. Say 5 years. After that time he could consider opening his mouth again. I doubt he would opt for the law of the jungle as he currently is.

#2 Actually I think assassinations are the way to go.

In a Democracy we have an established chain of succession in the event of tragedy. In a dictatorship an assassination leads to fighting over control.

Democracies have a distinct advantage in such a battle of assassins and Bush made a mistake in not removing the executive order against assassinations on Sept 12.

And from a moral point of view in war we end up fighting the fodder the dictators forces into the army at gunpoint and trying not to hurt them too bad when we should just aim for that bastard making the decisions and leave the fodder alone.
