OTOH, making an example of Soleimani for Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (and indirectly N. Korea's Kim Jong-un) that conveys we're not going to turn the other cheek, it's not going to be an eye for an eye, and we're not going to wait for another disaster of 9/11 magnitude before we act, may not be a bad idea. Demonstrating that we're willing to preemptively take out those plotting against us may show that an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure. Americans may want a President willing to follow-up on this. Too much snake oil out there.
