Why pick McKinley's assassination as your evidence, and not, say, the Spanish-American War? And one person (however important) getting shot isn't what most of us think of when you say "people die".

And why pick that as the most recent example, instead of, say, the invasion of Iraq?

Another excellent example. Thanks!

People die is general usage while I was providing a US example.

Interesting? I actually dont believe I've seen the news blamed for that invasion. Typically the reasoning is economic. I wish to know more!
