Assassins!!!

U.S. Special Forces are reportedly training para-miltary forces(Kurdish and Shiite). The reason, let these "death squads" roam Iraq, Syria and Iran and kill "insurgents". A great way to win the hearts and minds of ....well the only hearts and minds we will win over are the "death squad" personnel. I guess our solution to fighting terror is with terror.

Is killing justified when it is in the name of democracy? Is terrorism acceptable if the proposed outcome is equality and justice? Do the ends ever justify the means? Does one defeat violence with more violence?

I know, the answers are obvious (at least to reasonable minds). I hope W and regime would see and understand the answer.
