Before quoting Saint Thomas Aquinas in support of Petulant Pat, I'd review the history of what happened to the Chech Jewish population AFTER they succeeded in assassinating Ostengrupenfurher Heydritch. Heydritch deserved to eat the .556 round like no one in Germany other Der Furher. However, the retribution let loose for that assassination was monumental and profoundly tragic.

Hitler and his henchmen planned to kill the Czech Jews anyway, and indeed all the Jews of Europe. The assassination of Heydrich may have sped up the process, and that was a sad event. As for assassination, the world would have been far better off, and many thousands of Jews spared the gas chambers, had the German generals succeeded in assassinating Hitler and toppling the Nazi regime in 1944. Reportedly, Pope Pius XII was aware of supported the coup attempt, as did the Protestant theologian and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

WOW, good thing they did not assassinate Hitler then or some really bad things might have happened to the Jews.......er, uh, then again, maybe some really bad things did happen....maybe you accidently make a good point, they should have assassinated Hitler also, an not just Heydritch.

If you are arguing that not every contemplated assassination is judicious, no one will dispute that trivial point.

A timely assassination can save many lives, however.

Many more US soldiers would have come home from Europe in 1945 if von Stauffenberg had successfully terminated Hitler.

Robertson is a known idiot and, whether Chavez deserves assassination or not, Robertson should never have shot his mouth off like that.

He accomplished nothing of any value, created even more strain in our relationship with Venezuela, and handed the left and their Muslim buddies a convenient stick wherewith to beat Christians, conservatives and Republicans.

Robertson is an incompetent embarassment.
