Govt scientists that are part of a terrorist war from Iran are legal targets.
Iran is run by terrorists that support terrorists in Al Qaeda, Lebanese Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.
Their military force, govt leaders and govt scientists are legal targets as terrorists.
If they didn't make statements about wiping Israel off the face of the Earth then Israel wouldn't be killing their govt people. I don't recall seeing Israel killing officials from Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc.....please tell us "cop."
What "terrorist war"? I'm willing to bet that the folks from Lebanon and Palestine think the same thing about the Israelis. So anyone that makes a verbal threat perceived or otherwise should just be attacked?

They CERTAINLY DO NOT have "clean hands" there "expert". If the Iranians (or any other country) are plotting (material) against Our country, I think that we should take out their operatives. If they actually attempt a larger attack we should act accordingly sans the "nation building" crap. I prefer that we try mutually respectful diplomacy first.
