Rules of War........

Question

It may be against Geneva Conventions but instead of risking wars with North Korea (just an example), why not just assassinate the crazy President they have? Just have a single special forces sniper dress in civilian clothes and just pop one right between his eyes at his next public speech.

I mean it might be against the rules, but if we were about to go to war wouldn't it save many lives? And when another leader steps up, if he is the same as the last do the same thing until someone rises that is either sane or it gets to the point where every one is too scared to take the position.

Answer 1

Remember WWI?

The Austrians just assumed where the attack came from and basically started a world war killing millions. So if Kim Jung Il was assassinated, they would probably just invade South Korea.

Answer 2

Their are no rules in war, the Geneva convention is a waste, people will do what ever it takes to win and no rules are going to stop them

Answer 3

well, it could be done.

US tried to assinate Castro and Kenedy wound up deader then dead. -Conspiracy- What ever.

US tried to have Chavez assassinated and Chavez is now a Russian protege...... then he hit US financially with petros... - Hater - what ever

any more wise ideas..... -

Answer 4

Well....the Serbs tried that with Archduke Ferdinand of Austria.

It ended up starting World War I.

Answer 5

Back some years ago Congress passed a law concerning the assassination of heads of state during wartime. It's something the US won't intentionally do nor will it condone that action. Now as a former soldier that belief is very strong in the basic soldiers mind. But in "civilized" warfare it's detrimental to war-fighting.
