With all of these technological wonders of modern warfare, nothing beats a single, well-planned assassination for changing the course of history.  Assassination is one of the oldest tools of power politics.  It dates back at least as far as recorded history, and is still in use today; from gangland drive-by shootings to the disappearances of highly-place North Korean officials.
The problem is that sometimes someone gets killed and it is often a countries leader.
As I said, nothing beats a single, well-planned assassination for changing the course of history.

That does not change the course of a countries history. That changes the course of a countries future. I don't know how one can change the course of a countries history though it has been tried.

I do get the point though. Dead people are not usually very good as leaders. :D

I apologize for my funny humour.
