حقُّ الأمة في قتل الطاغية عند الضرورة لا يقلّ وضوحاً عن حقها في شنق اللص أو قتل البرغوث.

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”John Adams — A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America: Against the Attack of M. Turgot in His Letter to Dr. Price, Dated the Twenty-second Day of March, 1778 (1794)
