How come we always jump to violence as a way to solve our problems? Assassinating a leader of a sovereign nation is not a good idea, ever.

Shooting Hitler when there still was time would have saved our ancestors a lot of suffering. Same could be said about so many: Mao Tse Tung, Stalin, Tamerlan, political leaders here, religious icons there... Millions and millions would have been saved from experiencing the worst of what man is capable of. Ahmadinejad does not hide his intentions,a nd speak them out loud and clearly, so why giving him the the benefit of doubt? He puts himself beyond the rules of humanitarianism and tolerant coexistence, so why allowing him to pick the freedoms and escape the duties from this? A not small, but significant amount of Iranians deliberately choose to follow him, and brought him to power. Why not holding them responsible for the choice they made? Isn't the latter a key part of democracy - that you are free to choose, but must accept to bear the responsibility for the consequences?
