To be fair, an assassination targets an individual specifically. It may seem trivial, but using the correct terms gives more meaning to the reality.
The fault lies with the american public; we've failed to stop allowing our government to commit murder and wage neowarfare.

Why would you think he wasn't specifically targeted? They specifically targeted his father (also a US citizen) 2 weeks earlier didn't they?
It's called the "Targeted Kill List" for a reason.
Democracy is there to keep you thinking you have a say. Romney or Obama, apparently the two best men America has to offer?
Yeah.
Keep dreaming that American dream.
I made no mention of Romney, Obama, or Democracy. Keep up. We have a say if we -choose- to have a say. It's been 40 years since anyone had anything to say.
Who is this "we" you are talking about? There is no unanimity. Given that, if there is disagreement amongst us, who wins? Who loses? Who determines these things?
An example:
Suppose I do not want our state to target 16-year-old U.S. citizens for assassination. Suppose further that you do. Shall you and I both have an equal say in the outcome? If I were to enlist guerilla and UG on my side, thereby outnumbering you, shall "our" say be considered more valuable than your say simply because there are more of us (right by might)?
Surely, you do not believe "we" represents every person. Society is an abstract. There are only individuals. There will always be disagreement.
States have always murdered. States will always murder. Sometimes they kill their own citizens. Other times, they go after the citizens of other sovereigns.
This is not a recent phenomenon limited to the U.S. and 40 years of silence from its populace.

I'm firmly in stage 3, but I'll be damned if Guerilla and Jake haven't been working on me for years to jump into stage 4...
Because it's easier to bitch on a forum and someone else will do the real work for them.
