These questions are not new. War, in one form or another, appeared with the first man. At the dawn of history, its morality was not questioned; it was simply a fact, like drought or disease - the manner in which tribes and then civilizations sought power and settled their differences.
Over time, as codes of law sought to control violence within groups, so did philosophers, clerics, and statesmen seek to regulate the destructive power of war. The concept of a "just war" emerged, suggesting that war is justified only when it meets certain preconditions: if it is waged as a last resort or in self-defense; if the forced used is proportional, and if, whenever possible, civilians are spared from violence.

I find absolutely-[SNIP]-hilarious that the President recently authorized the murder of an American citizen and we are being told that wishing - that is contemplating - the arrogant bastards could taste their own medicine makes us FEMA camp material.
If they cannot lead by example then they are not fit to lead at all. Seeing as they will never relinquish power then I am forced to the following conclusion as a matter of logical necessity: they should be removed.

I don't want to sound arrogant, but the very fact you are even considering legal action makes me wonder if you realize just 'who' the ADL are?
You want to find a capable lawyer to take on their lawyers? Do you have any idea the pressure they can bring to bear? Do you think the judge who will preside over your case will give you a fair hearing?
Google 'Sylvia Stlolz' and you will see just how useless that line of reasoning is.
Denver defamation suit
According to an April 13, 2001 article in The Forward, a federal judge "lambasted the organization for labeling a nasty neighborhood feud as an anti-Semitic event" and upheld most of William and Dorothy Quigley's $10 million lawsuit for defamation. In 1994, [snip] The Quigleys and the Aronsons had been engaged in an escalating series of petty disputes prior to this incident. The ADL also labelled the Quigleys as anti-Semites in a press conference which led to felony federal charges being filed against them.
Judge Edward W. Nottingham of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado wrote "it is not unreasonable to infer that public charges of anti-Semitism leveled by the ADL will be taken seriously and assumed by many to be true without question. In that respect, the ADL is in a unique position of being able to cause substantial harm to individuals when it lends its backing to allegations of anti-Semitism." The judge concluded that the ADL supported the Aronsons' accusations without investigating the case, or weighing of the consequences.
