After watching Dubai-assassination related video (below), my takeaways are as follows:
1. What happens in Dubai does not stay in Dubai. When you visit Dubai, expect to be watched constantly.
2. Hotels are bad things. Without hotels, this Islamic terrorist would still be alive.
3. Wigs and tennis racquets were, in this case, accessories to murder. They should be banned.

The target was alone and appeared unafraid of his vuneralibilities under such conditions, even with apparent knowledge past attempts on his life.
A true warrior resign to a possible fate, yet continued to pursue what he thought was important to his cause and to his people under seige.
It took an immense expense physically, logistically, financially, politically and diplomatically for the prepatrators to put into play just for the calulation that this warriors death to be carried to this end.
I have personal reservations that there can be celebration worthy of praise nor that this type of cowardice will change the dynamics of the Israeli or Palestinian portfolio before the world.
In fact it reinforces the Israeli racist, cowardice, low-morality and criminality that has landed it before the War Crimes Tribunal currently being undertaken.
It also, brings low the United States and the UK as guaranteers of the such criminality being carried out in Iraq, Iran and other Muslim countries.
So, when the next socalled terrorist attack kills a group of innocent tourist, church members, embassy staff or airline passagers just remember how it all started: another cowardly act by a racist and deformed entity with the blessing of our U.S. criminal and brokeass empire!
I don’t mean to sound anti-semitic or anti-american, but I just hate a thug and coward. Someone who is incapable of going-up against a equal with the same capabilities.
The killing of men, women and children with high technology at great distances might seem theortically valid for those who speak in terms of logistical cost and other intellectually modern warfare gadget specific mobojombo, yet it seems to cheapen the value of all life, even mine.
I take it personal when I see our U.S. personnel walking past a burnt out village when once, innocent men, women and children are slaughtered in what was supposedly an attempt to kill a small group of resistence fighters by using overwhelming distant firepower.
It’s like these peoples lives were worthless and not subject to the human dignity we have for our own men, women and children.
What manner of human-being or group of humans can so cruely make such decisions? It is as though we who support such activity have become the very evil, which we are supposed to be against or is it merely my fear that this is my own fear of so being classified: expendable?
There is a connection unseen by many that our fate is being summarily decided by those we give our money and support are in fact making us co-conspiritors in our own destruction when it our turn to be considered expendable or radical or a convience to some far off process of hinderance to absolute control.
You’ve made some pretty big assumptions and, along the way, have looked right past some pretty important facts. First, you’ve assumed without basis that Israel was somehow involved in the hit. No one knows at this point. It could just have easily been done by Islamic rivals in Palestine or Syria. Second, it was not done with the “blessing” the United States or any European country as far as is now known. So, you can spare us the non sequiturs about the U.S. If the U.S. is so broke, why do foreigners still line up in sub-zero weather to take the oath of citizenship? Finally, the guy who was killed by these “thugs” was himself already a killer — many times over. He deserved death and got what was coming to him.
Dyke Davis,
The very suggestion that Hassan was a warrior makes me sick. This man was a coward, a terrorist, and he deserved what he got, whoever gave it. To me their has never been a greater example of bravery than that of the Israelis, for years they have been fighting continuously for their land and their families protections against savage enemies who’s only reason for their attacks is that they have a disgusting desire for blood.
What you have said is rude, insulting, and a lie.
