Bobert,

one of my interests is memory and how it changes with time. That opinions change with an event is no wonder, the interesting thing is that memory about previously held opinions also does change according to present opinions.

From that angle, the exact timing of when you have first asked a question is irrelevant but whether it was before or after a vital event (the war) is interesting. Before the war, when the idea of assassination came up you have spoken out against it, at least that's how I interpret your post that I have quoted. I do not mind at all any change of opinion in any person, but I recommend that people are aware that they have previously held another opinion.

As an aside, your repeated claim that nobody has responded to this question is untrue. You may not have liked the reponse (I do not mean my post) but there has been at least one.
