The Phoenix Program in Vietnam (a covert operation...lengthy in term) was used to summarily execute thousands. I understand that you think killing enemies without trial is wrong...not a unique idea...and is seldom applied.

I understand what your trying to say , but just because america has done bad things in the past doesnt mean we should condone or continue along this path.
America condems the actions taken by isreal and i dont think the usa should be actively participating in it either.
But your taking a very minute portion of certain events to make a stand for the sanctioned killing of someone without a trial.
The international community shares the same beliefs that i do.
Stop the murder. Thats where they need to start. Stop killing each other. Once one side stops the other side will quickly lose support from the international community and the game is over.
If they dont the only answer is to fight until one party is completely wiped out. And that will never happen as you will just have sleeper terrorists who wake up 50 years later with pure hatrid.
