North Korea certainly has, in the past, gone out of its way to assassinate officials of foreign governments. Clearly they have a history of that.
You'd have to be completely daft to think that Hamas hasn't put some thought into and even attempted to assassinate an Israeli Prime Minister.
We certainly know that most major global leaders are, for some unknown reason to yourself, surrounded by clouds of security . . . . just like Palestinian leaders in fact . . . . . you should have taken a drive through the G-8 summit security at Kananaskis the day after they had left. What a lot of bother for nothing . . . . in your mind at least.

You seem to have missed my point. Recognizing that world leaders are targets for assassination is a far different thing than suggesting it is acceptable for any nation to adopt it as stated policy.
"Kidnap our soldier, we'll kill your leader." Sounds like a reasonable policy does it?
Maybe Canada should have adopted a similar position in the recent past - we could have justifiably taken Bush out over beef or softwood lumber.
