   I see two terrorist states attacking a third terrorist state. There   
   are those within each of them who applaud the terrorist acts of their   
   own government, and those within each of them that applaud the   
   terrorist acts of those opposing their own government. I have not seen   
   a plastic castle or scuba diver when I open my window, just grass,   
   trees and pylons. Since I live more than 200 miles from the sea the   
   chances of seeing a scuba diver are very small.   
      
   But Ali Khamenei, whatever else he did, was the one who issued a fatwa   
   against the production of nuclear weapons in Iran. Killing him does   
   nothing to reduce the possibility of Iran producing nuclear weapons,   
   and those who replace him probably won't have his scruples.
