The President of Iran ordered the killing of an Iranian living in the US.

8. I understand the thrust of your op, but the United States will not abandon its kill lists.

The frank truth is that there is no world power or organization strong enough to make the United States quit such an exercise. Nobody in any position of power in Paris, Tokyo, Berlin, Moscow, or Beijing could really do anything when it came to light that the United States was operating a clandestine network of black sites in which to torture designated "enemy combatants," and they don't really seem to be moving on the revelation that Bush and Obama maintain "Kill Lists" of people they've designated an enemy. If the US had done this in a major war against a hypothetical superpower and lost such a war, its leaders would likely be placed on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity for the way they've both waged war and treated prisoners captured on the battlefield and for ordering extrajudicial killings of people without fair trial.

As George W. Bush aptly said with the Bill of Rights, "It's just a goddamn piece of paper!"
