No, we shouldn't. If we were inclined to kill some Iranians, we need to go after Mr. Iwannajihad and his cohorts. Most other Iranians are not complicit in his plans and machinations, so why punish them for the actions of their leaders?

I agree with the approach (assassinate the leaders) but not your reasoning.

The Arabs respect applied (not threatened) power, follow their leaders and have cowards as leaders. If you quickly remove the leadership it:

• Shows that we have power and are willing to use it.
• Eliminates the leadership resulting in a leadership vacuum. The Arabs will then proceed to kill each other in an attempt to fill the vacuum. We should stay out of this, because
• whoever the new cowardly leader is will realize that if he continues on the same path he will be the next dead man.

In my opinion this is the path we should have taken in Iraq.

My reasoning still applies. The regular Iranians on the street have no control over their leaders so why should they die for their leaders' hubris and intransigence?
