The god-given brain that can discern right from wrong. JFC. The issue shouldn't be whether he deserved to live, that's settled. It's whether or not it's worth the risk.

Does nothing to alter the foreign policy or activities of the government of Iran.

Jeebus.
The same basic rules have been in effect for millennia and codified since the fifth fucking century.

Nah. The differences between the Islamic Republic and al Qaeda or ISIS are far fewer than you'd imagine.

And if the republican-controlled senate votes it down, they own whatever happens:
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Trump's decision-making style doesn't seem to have changed since The Apprentice. It would be fascinating to watch Republicans as they attempt to "reverse engineer" the Soleimani targeting, when it was likely a decision of Trump to look like a tough guy, especially tougher than the black guy president, if the consequences weren't so alarming.
“The Apprentice” was built around a weekly series of business challenges. At the end of each episode, Trump determined which competitor should be “fired.” But, as Braun explained, Trump was frequently unprepared for these sessions, with little grasp of who had performed well. Sometimes a candidate distinguished herself during the contest only to get fired, on a whim, by Trump. When this happened, Braun said, the editors were often obliged to “reverse engineer” the episode, scouring hundreds of hours of footage to emphasize the few moments when the exemplary candidate might have slipped up, in an attempt to assemble an artificial version of history in which Trump’s shoot-from-the-hip decision made sense. During the making of “The Apprentice,” Burnett conceded that the stories were constructed in this way, saying, “We know each week who has been fired, and, therefore, you’re editing in reverse.” Braun noted that President Trump’s staff seems to have been similarly forced to learn the art of retroactive narrative construction, adding, “I find it strangely validating to hear that they’re doing the same thing in the White House.”

Re: Iraqi militiamen breach U.S. embassy
One thing that we can probably all be grateful for is that George W, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld and all the other Bushies were such incompetents that the Iraq excursion looked like the screwup that it was and there's less trust of the far more incompetent Trumpists going to war.
