Without an imminent threat that would be stopped in its track, it was illegal.What does the word imminent mean, to you?Yes it was. Please use a dictionary.It wasn't an assassination. Please educate yourself.State sponsored (or state ordered) assassinations don't make the world a safer place. They do the opposite.
A dictionary doesn't count in US law, Us law counts.

He was on the known terrorist list
We have a resolution that terrorists that are an immanent threat can be taken out.
We also have a resolution that details what an assassination is and isn't

Take your emotions out of it. This was a justified, legal threat elimination.
Did the assassination stop the imminent attack on us?
What proof do you have that the threat was imminent, and the threat was stopped in its tracks by the killing if him?
I don't need any proof. I actually have some modicum of trust in our government in this type of situation. If we find out later that there wasn't, it should be dealt with at that time.
He just orchestrated an attack against our embassy. Good enough for me at this time.
I used to trust our gvt, until this president who wakes up and lies before his feet hit the ground....a peril he faces from being a chronic liar, is those who have not been blinded by his brainwashing through his repetitive talking, simply do not trust his word or the word of his lying minions who surround him, like Pompeo, a proven liar....
A chronic liar can not be trusted... the wise man said.
And that is what we face.... a bed the President made, for himself....
