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 No, I think you missed the point of this post. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this means a president should NOT be allowed to do anything like attack a country without authorization from Congress. It doesn't mean it's right to attack a country even if Congress approves the action.
