Vår utenriksminister førdømmer ikke.
Hun ber partene besinne seg.
Men Trump har ingen i sin innerste krets som "besinner" ham.
Snarere tvertimot: Pence, Pompeo, Mulvaney, Barr ... ALLE er ekstremkristne ... som mest understøtter Trump.
Trump vil nå ytterligere bombe kulturelle mål i Iran ... en SOLEKLAR krigsforbrytelse.
Ikke en gang dette makter Søreide å fordømme.
Trump og hans medløpere bryr seg NULL om folkerett og konvensjoner.
Ingenting av det som er bygget opp gjennom århundrer om krigens rett blir tatt alvorlig.
Og i USA makter heller ikke Kongressen å ta ansvar.
Trump gir dem ikke anledning ... og Republikanerne er med på ferden.
Det er på denne bakgrunn at Norge må ha en mening.
Og bruke stemmen sin tydelig og uredd.
Å lefle med Trump slik det nå blir gjort ..... det gjør bare vondt verre.
Man blir tause medløpere ...
I USA går diskusjonen grundig om "Assassinations" kontra "Targetted killings".
Les denne innsiktsfulle artikklen av Karen Greenberg:
"Killing Qassim Suleimani Was Illegal. And Predictable."
"In employing the euphemism “targeted killing” for a member of a sovereign state, the Trump administration has exposed the faulty assumptions and dangerous legacy posed by the war on terror’s targeted killing policy."

Erna og Ine Marie må lese Karen Greenbergs artikkel.
Skjønne jusssen ... og ikke minst skjønne alvoret.
Og si tydelig fra på Norges vegne.
Slik at vi alle vet at vi har gjort det: Sagt fra!

Utdrag fra Karen Greenbergs artikkel:
In
1975, the Church Committee, a select Senate committee, launched an
investigation into the activities of the United States’ intelligence
agencies, spurred on by reports of covert assassination attempts on
foreign leaders, among them failed attempts against Patrice Lumumba of
Zaire and Fidel Castro of Cuba. The committee found that assassination
was “incompatible with American principle, international order, and
morality.” Its final report recommended a ban on assassination in the absence of war and except in cases of imminent danger. Though no such law was passed by Congress, President Gerald Ford issued an executive order in 1976 banning political assassination.
In
employing the euphemism “targeted killing” for a member of a sovereign
state, the Trump administration has exposed the faulty assumptions and
dangerous legacy posed by the war on terror’s targeted killing policy. A
policy that attempted to cordon off the war on terror from the rules of
war, that depended on “trust me” government, and that rationalized the
expansion of executive authority without congressional approval, set the
foundation for last week’s killing and its unleashing of threats of
violent retaliation.
