Tom Junod at Esquire.com exposes murder to the unflattering light of day in his piece.
Could my dissident observations make me a target? Killing shouldn’t be easy.

Anyone who gets in the way (of the “New World Order”) becomes a target… the only question (in my mind) is what do they consider ‘getting in the way’…

Perhaps I’m naïve because I place great trust in this president and who he selects, but I’m fairly okay with this. I mean, I like it a whole lot better than picking a country, blowing the hell out of it, invading it, then sticking around to become targets as we rebuild it, become its police and military.
And yes, I know this sounds like accepting the lesser of two evils.
The problem I have with it is it is happening in countries where we are not at war and due process is completely circumvented. The law should apply to all. In this instance I don’t see much contrast from the dreaded W.
I expect Obama to take the high road because he is better than this.
