Should nations kill on foreign soil?

Without details it is difficult to decide whether the Indian guy was fair game. At this point I think not.

As for Osama; he was an international terrorist who was responsible for the deaths of many thousands of innocents. Offing him was/is not worthy of rational argument. I contend that he was not killed for political or religious reasons. Osama, by all accounts, was a brilliant man. Too bad to have wasted his talents on murderous enterprise.

why do you think he was killed?

the circumstances seem clearly political/vengeful to me.

aiui, he was pissed off that american military infidels were stationed in saudi. at the time of t e lawrence, that had been a death sentence

The public is just not supposed to know about it - usually. As a matter of values, however, it should only be OK for a country which allows for killing of its citizens to do so in another country which does the same. Something tells me Canada may not be one of them places... Maybe they are though.

A critical conflict is going on again, or still,in northern Arabia.  It is one of those;"This Land Is Mine" quarrels that that has no visible solution.  Are we hard wired to kill one another?

Yes, I suppose we are thusly wired. More so, "out in the world," a human life gets cheaper the further from the human in question you get.
