Jesus Thinks He's A Jerk

I know I am not the world's foremost Biblical scholar, but doesn't it say something about "thou shalt not kill?" I think I read that on a courthouse wall somewhere in Kentucky. And isn't there something later on about turning the other cheek? Either one would seem to preclude a nationally televised call to assassinate the leader of another country. But that doesn't stop Pat Robertson. He apparently thinks the leader of Venezuela is the next coming of Stalin. Maybe he's right (I'm ignorant enough of that area of the world not to know), but it's still a stupendously stupid thing to call for his death on national TV. Is that what Jesus would have done, Pat?
