That's the conundrum, only the victors get to choose.
Collateral damage is preferred :cheers:

"Why", kill Assad? He is fighting ISIS. We should be helping him. Like Putin is.

We have had a policy since the later 1970's that we don't use assassination when it comes to the leaders of countries. For some reason it was decided that it was OK to invade a country and destroy it's military and infrastructure but just taking out the bad guy we don't like is against the rules.

I am pretty sure that it has a lot to do with the CIA's nation building programs of the 1960's and 1970's that went wrong. I hesitate to mention this because it is likely to have Atta or Che giving your a dissertation or the dastardly deeds of the CIA.
People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm.
