OK, if someone really were trying to take out Dear Leader, I can think of a lot less destructive ways of doing it. If this was a plot, then whoever would take over wouldn't be much better than what we've got there now.

Fact is, the only humane way to get rid of the guy is to strap him down, and recreate that scene from "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." You know, where the pluck the guy's still-beating heart out of his chest and show it to him.
