But if you don’t believe it was illegal, then you cannot say it was murder without speaking in contradictions.

I never offered my own opinion on the legality of the matter. But if we're going to talk about what is legal or illegal, we need to consider the laws of the people on the land where the operation occurred.

We need to stop being so arrogant as to believe that our laws, opinions, and feelings are the only ones worthy of consideration, somehow giving us the moral superiority to do what we want throughout the world.

From our perspective this might be a matter of justice being served, but to others throughout the world this could be considered an illegal military operation and cold-blooded murder.

I don't understand the reactionaries around here who get so upset about the use of one little word carelessly used by a television reporter. So much energy is wasted on insignificant and irrelevant nonsense. There are far more important issues here that deserve our attention.
