Woah - have you stopped beating your wife yet?
To play Devil's Advocate: this man was a citizen. A State has fundamentally failed when it has executed one of its citizens.

- natrius 17y agoThat's clearly not what was said. The most basic function of government is to protect its citizens. If a government executes one of its own citizens, it has fundamentally failed. You and I may consider many other actions to be failures of governments, but the citizen distinction matters here.
