Sic Semper ...?

Norm takes up Peter Tatchell's suggestion that it might be time to off Mugabe:

"In 2008 we already do know how much death and suffering Mugabe has been responsible for in order that Peter's qualified semi-pacifism should be able to yield a 'yes' or a 'no'. That he would prefer to see Mugabe put on trial also doesn't answer the question. He would prefer it - but would the assassination of Mugabe be, in his terms, morally justified though wrong, justified as the lesser of two evils?"

For the record, however absolutely vile Mugabe is, assassination as public policy is a horrifying idea.
