If you all would kindly indulge me for a moment to set forth an apparently not so popular opinion, it would be appreciated.
I do believe that within the boundaries of the international community, its not acceptable to kill any leader of any country, as when that precedent is established there is no going back, and who is to say that a country who is not partial to the US, would not come in and kill our president, (whether I agree with him or not), I certainly do not want the President of the United States (or any other country for that matter) killed. Yes, I do recognize that it is only a movie, but think about what Mayor De Blassio, "only said" that blacks "shouldn't trust" police officers and we see where that has gotten us, two dead cops that we know of, but my belief that latest assaults on police officers is directly correlated to what Sharpton, P Obama, and De Blassio said about not trusting police officers.
Moral of the above syllogism, people internalize words/movies in very different ways, and we as a society need to take responsibility for our words/movies, or we may all land up in the Land of Oz, and we could be a lot worse off than we are already.

But for a few rare exceptions, they aren't that spectacular in ability, and usually the guy who would take a bullet for a leader is just as capable as the leader.
