Would you bestow honors on the guys who stopped John Hinkly Jr before he
managed to get another bullet into Reagan?  How about if somebody had
stopped Lee Harvey Oswald or the guys who shot Ghandi and Benazir Bhutto?

Yes, many of them *are* corrupt, but jumping from there to "Every single
one of them is so corrupt that they don't deserve an attempt to stop
an assassination" shows something pretty sad about you.

If nothing else, remember that most of them have families that will grieve.
Those politicians need to lose an election.  Not a life.
