with the possibility of killing directly or supporting the assassination of ANYONE they disagree with.

When you can say to yourself something such as, "Innocent people will die? Well, that's the price for _____________________ ."

And that extends from Iraq to Arizona, to the Dream Act, to the "Health" "Care" "Reform" debate, to A - N - Y - T - H - I - N - G, because that's the fundamentally basic mindset.

1. It's the end justifies the means argument.
Which oddly enough started out as a communist or Marxist principle and was held up as a sin by our US government and this society in the past.

4. Unfortunately...
...our unwillingness to cross that line means that only one side is fighting -- which makes it, in a strange way, more "acceptable," since most Americans will see it as "not their problem" since they're not going to be targeted for their political beliefs.

5. Yes, so people need to be more creative about how to fight. Violence and violent metaphors are not
helpful.
