I’ve got a pair of aces, what do you have?

I had the image of James Cagney at the end of Public Enemy, “Made it, Ma, top of the world!” Yeah, I know these guys weren’t nice (neither is daddy Saddam) but, kill or capture? Something just doesn’t sit right.

Plus all these world leaders are coming out saying how glad they are these guys are dead. I’m not a conspiracy buff, certainly not in this case but, if we go in to “liberate” a country, how is killing the leaders of the previous regime any different than the things the CIA was responsible for in Latin America? The question is whether or not we have come to a point in history where Exxon/Mobil, Chevron, BP and Shell have taken the place of United Fruit?
