I couldn't agree with Murray more. The recent drone strike is extra-judicial execution. It is contrary to international law. It is a prelude to a renewed British, French and US airpower campaign in Syria to regime change Assad.
But I also think there is another longer term aim. If extra-judicial execution of British nationals is permitted in Syria -- and the public meekly accept this as they appear to be now doing -- then surely it is only a matter of time - perhaps a few years - before the government roll out another "done and dusted" extra-judicial execution at home?
And lets use the word that has been avoided thus far. Extra-judicial execution is actually murder. Consequently, David Cameron and the British Cabinet are responsible for and complicit in the murder of British nationals.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
