The strategic decapitation strike would potentially save more innocent lives than the tactical hit on the grunt in the field.

Doesn’t this come down to might makes right in its purest form? After all, Saddam Hussein could have used this exact justification to order an attack on any White House meeting during the early part of Bush’s first term.

Had Hussein had the resources to make the hit, how would you justify condemning it?
