Reflections of a stormy petrel

I have been having many different and interesting conversations on this topic since the assassination/murder/killing/incident. And you're quite correct, folks aren't going to see eye to eye, at least possibly not for a long while if ever. I'm with the Rule of Law crowd, generally speaking, and the "Well it's a war and so we have to do what we have to do when it suits" crowd aren't alien to me but quite worrisome. I'm bothered by precedents generally, and most others I know (here in the U.S.) aren't, provided whatever's done suits them at the time.
