I expect every politician to lie and cheat if necessary to get re-elected, and those who do the least of that are veritable saints. By some standards the killings of Qusay and Uday Hussein, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Osama bin Laden, or Ayman al-Zawahiri are extrajudicial killings. I excuse all five killings and I would accept any other country doing exactly the same under the same circumstances without fault of the national entity.Perhaps the title of the OP was meant to be rhetorical, but I responding directly to "why is it taking so much" rather than focusing on Trump. Put simply, a lot of people are apprehensive about this because where to draw that line between trivial vs non-trivial is hard to determine and subject to partisan slant. Even if he deserves it...we're setting a dangerous precedent, and we've all seen how quickly snowballs slide down a slippery slope during a 4T.
