single bullet doctrine
the doctrine that in diplomacy or the international political field -ss-ssination can be a very effective means of avoiding war. formally coined as a phrase in an opinion piece by journalist john stanton in october 2002.
the coinage is a reference to a comment regarding the possibility of a war against saddam hussein in iraq. in a press conference ari fleischer, the white house spokesman, said: “the cost of a one-way ticket is substantially less than the cost of war. the cost of one bullet, if the iraqi people take it on themselves, is substantially less than that.

while dealing with a tyrannical dictatorship, i would support the single bullet doctrine.
