Looking at the practical side, ethics and morals aside, I don't understand what's so difficult about placing a sniper on a roof and take Yassin out. Instead, rockets were used, and of course other people were killed, and that's how it's been with many of these rocket attacks. I think that there would be less of an uproar if the israeli forces used less brute force and more precision. Just a theory.

(And War Angel, please don't be offended, but all criticism directed towards the state of Israel is not anti-semitism in disguise. Seriously, that's just being paranoid.)
