It has been clear for years that the Obama administration believes the shadow war on terrorism gives it the power to choose targets for assassination, including Americans, without any oversight. On Tuesday, The New York Times revealed who was actually making the final decision on the biggest killings and drone strikes: President Obama himself. And that is very troubling. Mr. Obama has demonstrated that he can be thoughtful and farsighted, but, like all occupants of the Oval Office, he is a politician, subject to the pressures of re-election.

The jokes among Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's detractors are legion. In one, he looks in the mirror and says, ''Male lice to the right, female lice to the left.'' In the West, one American tabloid rarely misses a chance to refer to him as ''Evil Madman'' and in the days before his re-election here he was taunted as a ''monkey'' and as a ''midget.'' But the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who was announced winner of a second four-year term this week is no cartoon character. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
