This may shock some folks, but it is OK to simultaneously say that Khomeini had it coming and is a piece of shit who deserved what he got, and to say that a US president shouldn’t be assassinating foreign leaders without authorization from Congress. We can do that. We can have complex discussions. It is possible.

Edit ** as many have pointed out, the guy I was posting about here is Khameini (perils of late night posting). Khomeini died of cardiovascular disease in 1989.

@mcnado you mean, if Congress approved, its okay to assassinate foreign leaders? That’s your idea of a complex discussion?

@mativity @mcnado why should leaders get special protection over the citizens of a country?

@bweller @mativity @mcnado There is an international contract specifically about not assassinating foreign leaders. The US has agreed to this.

It seems to me that Trump is daring other world leaders to put him out of our misery.
