Why aren't more people assassinated?

People are assassinated all the time in other countries due to simple disagreement; look at the last couple lawyers of Saddam Hussein during his trial.  Why doesn't the US have a more active industry of hitmen and assassins targeting the most unpopular political, media, business and religious figures? 

the chances are there are alot of people assassinated in the U.S
the reason we dont hear about it is because the assassins dont get caught or leave no trace.

But notable public figures don't get offed

hmm, youve got a point there. i cant recall the last big public figure to get whacked anywhere though (i havnt really looked into it)

i recall the washington sniper guy but he just went for low level frags.

But notable public figures don't get offed

what country are we talking about again?

In before fbi

truth
america would instantly win if it had some competent assassins
no more socialist fags controling oil supply
no more commies in cuba
no more fundies in the middle east
no more jews pulling the strings in politics

Because our assassins don't get caught and our operatives are more covert. You only hear about the occasional politician dying in car crashes or in their sleep and there is a lot more under the surface.

Who was that guy that died while sleeping on a bench? 

All assassinations have been put on temporary hold until a DeathNote can be found.  True Story.
