Frankly, I don't think this is us assassinating these Iranians.
I have a lot of trouble reconciling my feelings about assassination with my normal set of morals, but I've come to think that assassination is maybe not such a bad way to go. Beats the heck out of invading a country and ruining it. Call me selfish and cold-hearted but I know personally I'd rather have a leader assassinated then have the country invaded. Yeah, this is a bad way to think, I know, but it does cross my mind quite often as a kind of preventative to open warfare.
