They are terrorists. They know what they got into, and they deserve harsh punishment for conducting such actions. Being strict will allow an example to be set.

Unless the activities of foreign threats directly impact American operations abroad, or our defined international allies, there should be no direct involvement by any other country without explicit request or reason.

My position of "No, they should be captured and given a fair trial" on foreign assassination is based on several key principles, such as the importance of adhering to international law, protecting human rights, and ensuring a fair and just legal process for all individuals. Here's some context and additional information to support this position:

1. International Law: The United Nations Charter and various international treaties, such as the Geneva Conventions, establish legal frameworks governing armed conflict and the treatment of individuals during armed conflicts. These inter… Read morenational laws prioritize protecting the rights and well-being of all individuals, including those suspected of being involved in terrorism.

2. Human Rights: Respect for human rights is a fundamental principle in democratic societies and international relations. Targeted assassinations, particularly outside of recognized armed conflicts, can raise serious concerns about violations of the right to life and the prohibition of extrajudicial killings.

3. Fair Trial: Providing individuals with a fair trial ensures that justice is served and that their rights are respected. It allows for the presentation of evidence, legal representation, and the opportunity for individuals to defend themselves against accusations.

4. Avoiding Mistakes: Targeted assassinations can sometimes result in the unintended killing of innocent civilians or individuals who may not have been involved in terrorism. A fair trial process minimizes the risk of mistakes and ensures accountability.

5. Legal Precedents: Many countries have established legal systems and processes for dealing with individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism. These legal frameworks are designed to balance national security concerns with the protection of individual rights.

6. Global Perceptions: The use of targeted assassinations can have international repercussions and affect how a country is perceived by other nations. Adhering to the rule of law and providing fair trials can enhance a country's reputation in the international community.

7. Moral and Ethical Considerations: Many individuals and organizations, including human rights advocates and legal experts, argue that targeted assassinations are morally and ethically problematic. They raise questions about the ethics of killing individuals without due process and judicial oversight.

While it's important to address threats to national security, capturing and giving individuals a fair trial is seen by many as a more principled and lawful approach that upholds democratic values and human rights. It also promotes a just and accountable response to terrorism.

It's worth noting that the debate on this issue is complex, and perspectives may vary. The context provided here supports the position that capturing and providing a fair trial is a more principled approach in the context of foreign assassinations.

When it comes to foreign assassination, advocating for capturing and giving individuals a fair trial is essential. It aligns with principals of justice, human rights, and the rule of law. By providing individuals with proper legal process, we uphold the values that promote a more just and equitable world. Plus, it helps prevent potential backlash and retaliation that could arise from extra judicial actions. So this is why we need to strive for a world where justice is served through lawful means!

If they are left alive and taken to america for a trial they could use that as an advantage to exploit a weakness and attack us.

Foreigners come all the time so it would not make sense to just kill every foreigner. I think they should go through a regular trial for guilty or non-guilty.

For less severe and more mundane acts, yeah. But for extreme and brutal crimes, may they burn in hell, and that’s putting it lightly.

Just think. If you kill the wrong guy, which has a high chance of happening, you have to clean it up, cover up the assassination of some random civilian, and then deal with the person you originally intended to kill, whereas if you take them to court, you could at least get more information out of them in a humane manner. This also gives them the chance to recover and become a better person.
