Extra-Judicial Killing

Jack Straw condemns Israel for its "extra-judicial" killing of Yassin:

Mr Straw said Israel was not entitled to carry out "this kind of unlawful killing", which in any case was "very unlikely to achieve its objectives".

Hmmm. It would seem to me that Al Q's recent "extra-judicial" killing of hundreds of Spanish citizens achieved its objectives. It would also seem to me that Mr. Yassin himself preached a course of extra-judicial killing to achieve HIS objectives:

"Palestinian land is Arab Muslim land," Yassin wrote. "It was occupied by the force of weapons by the Zionist Jew and will only be returned with the force of weapons."

Terror begets terror: Hamas simply brought down violence on itself.
