What Christian in America thinks it is OK to call for assassination?
of anyone? Of another world leader or anyone? How could anyone that uttered such words have any credibility in the Christian world? How could they claim any kinship to the gospel of Jesus Christ? They have lost their way and are going to roast in the middle of the kettles of hell...
Jesus has turned over in his tomb.

11. consider Idi Amin
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ug.html

"The dictatorial regime of Idi AMIN (1971-79) was responsible for the deaths of some 300,000 opponents; guerrilla war and human rights abuses under Milton OBOTE (1980-85) claimed at least another 100,000 lives."

Idi was pushed out of power by the invading army of Tanzania and that action seemed to be a good thing. However, Obote was not much better, but some of that was the guerilla war. They do not say anything bad about Lt. Gen. Yoweri Kaguta MUSEVENI although he seems to be a dictator. If Idi could have been assassinated in 1975 that would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. Not only those he would have killed but those who died during Tanzania's invasion. Would it be an unchristian thing to wish for the death of Idi? Wouldn't that be more justice than the way he lived out his life in luxury in Saudi Arabia?

However, what kind of objective observer would think that Chavez is comparable to Amin? What does Amnesty International say?

12. I really liked Rumsfield's comment -
(reported in the Guardian) The secretary of defence, Donald Rumsfeld, said: "Our department doesn't do that kind of thing. It's against the law."

..and, of course, "we" wouldn't do anything illegal.
