Broad brush strokes there-
FWIW- I certainly think he has gone round some bend.....though I suppose arguments could be made for gov't sanctioned assassinations. But I am not going to make them-

If, by the convenience remark you are referring to my post, I don't make a living off of my religion, and I don't have any influence over any segment of the population. (I can't even get my animals to stay off the furniture). I also do not go around proclaiming my superiority due to the religion I belong to, and I don't recall having said anything about never making mistakes or 'sinning', as it were. Pat Robertson is a visible figure in the religous political arena, and if he is going to put this sort of crap out there, I think he is fair game and should be accountable for his actions and statements.
As far as government sanctioned assassinations, is it really any different than assassinations in general? Would the same person that espoused the murder of Idi Amin think that Abe Lincoln's murder was justified? It's all about perspective, I suppose.
