I'm surprised there isn't a thread about this already. The British citizen who beheaded multiple hostages on video was targeted and killed by the U.S. and apprarently Great Britain was in on it it as well.
I think it's a good thing because it sends a message that this kind of depraved violence is nothing less than a war crime and if you choose to do this, we WILL come after you and you will die.
On the other hand, this is clearly a political assassination. Jiihadi John did not pose a military threat - any fool can commit murder. We didn't like this guy (for obvious reasons) so we killed him.
Like I said, I think it sends a message that needed to be sent. I'm wondering what others here think.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
