Was Trump's order to assassinate Iran's Qassem Soleimani legal?

Cheif, I'm just the provocateur. Be well my friend.

Ma'am as you know Bin Laden wasn't a senior military officer from combatant country. Protocol was followed in an Obama WH and senior members of Congress were notified prior to action being taken by our military. Finally while both of us I'm sure agree that this was a good assassination it does leave us as Americans very vulnerable to the law of unintended consequences.

Even leftist, christiana amanpour, admits that the quds leader is responsible for the deaths of many Americans. She also considered the killing of bin laden a "nothing burger," compared to killing the quds leader who was at the height of his career.

Any escalation now will result in further retaliation. That said, the only thing that stopped the Barbary Pirates was decisive action. Any action needs to be quick and violent. They need to know we will not accept their constant threats.

Cpl (Join to see) Brother, In Matthew, Jesus told one of his followers who had cut off a man's ear: "Return your sword to its place, for all who will take up the sword, will die by the sword.”

Jesus didn't want people to cower in fear. He wanted them to defend themselves.

He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That’s enough!” he replied.

But vengeance?

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
