Two reasons why assassinations are off the menu but mass slaughter is still on it: 1) The rules are agreed by the people who would be in the cross-hairs. 2) The rules are agreed by the people funded by the armament manufacturers (amongst others) and the profit level on one bullet is a lot lower than that on cruise missiles, cluster bombs, mixed calibre shells and all of the ancilliary equipment about to be used. Logic has never entered into the field of warfare.
