Insight, critical thinking, and perhaps intelligence. If I state something knowing that I do not know, I am lying even if I score a factual hit. If I do?not?know that I do not know, then it is an unintentional misrepresentation?and maybe a stretch of the definition of the word lie??? ? ?//

I believe morals to be subjective to the culture they apply to or arise from. What is right for me is wrong for others. It would be against?my morals to publicly?rejoice (A very strong word suggesting celebration) at such a situation, although I would consider it a normal and healthy behavior to feel private relief if the individual?had been a threat in some way.? My more public expression might be to acknowledge sadness that the death had occurred?and to work healthy problem solving directed?at the changed situation. I believe this would meet acceptable standards?in my culture.

2.? Is the conflict in the Middle East going to go global?

I feel it will, although the various more powerful players may continue proxy games for a while longer. The U.S. has already adopted military?stances in that theater, as well as in others. Basically, Russia wants Ukraine (and maybe Europe), the Palestinian coalition wants Israel, China wants the South Seas, and the U.S. (and allies) want to stop all those desires from realizing. By independant?move?or hidden Axis agenda, Russia first stepped it up with a direct and invasive use of force on a historically significant level. Hamas followed suit. China is cagier. The Philippines, Israel and Ukraine have dug in?and so now we have broken the ice: war is a current and real tool for political?goals in many areas. Not just limited?third?world power plays, but on a scale already involving global arms and strategic resources. I would say we are only a bomb away from sending in the boots.

3.? Is it likely that another bad actor will use the current situation as an opportunity to make a power grab?

Duh.

4.? What is the difference between telling a lie and not knowing the truth?

Insight, critical thinking, and perhaps intelligence. If I state something knowing that I do not know, I am lying even if I score a factual hit. If I do not?know that I do not know, then it is an unintentional misrepresentation?and maybe a stretch of the definition of the word lie?

5.? Does the height of a politician make a difference in electibility?

That questions feels like the answer may be cultural and so my answer would be that it probably does to some people, depending upon personal and cultural perceptions.
