This should be a "surgical" action specifically cutting out the ones who authorized the gassing of innocent adults and children. These people will not change as there is no cure for psychopaths and that has been proven over time. They will not change. There is an old story about a snake on the side of the road and he asked the person to please take him to the other side and the person said no because he will bite him and the snake promised he wouldn't SO the person picked up the snake and when they got to the other side the snake bit him The person said why did you do that? You promised you would not bite me. The snake replied "that is what snakes do". Why would we be surprised these leaders would kill as that is what they do.  |
Because there's an "agreement" amongst "leaders" that you don't do that. Why? How many leaders would there be? EVERY time another leader disagreed with you...they have you killed...it tends to go through a lot of leaders very quickly when you do that. "Civilized" governments don't assassinate other world leaders. Think of how easy it would be to take out the Kremlin or another country like Russia to take out the Capitol building during the state of the union.
Yes...don't expect a snake to NOT be a snake...don't expect a psychopath to not be a psychopath. Most "rulers" are psychopaths...it's the personality type that attains those positions.
