unfortunately, if you look at history, assassination has never achieved much and more often than not made matters worse. IE a less secure leader filling a vacuum will need more bluster to strengthen there position. Nor will you see such a vacuum filling leader turn to the Murders of his previous sovereign leader for hep because quite simply the act of assassination demonstrates more strongly that the enemy is a real enemy.
