We could do something that would be considered an act of war in order to kidnap somebody explicitly protected by the target country. But these things have been known to go poorly.
I don't disagree with that. However, the US sometimes takes military actions that cause frustration and anger from other nations that we are not explicitly at war with. Some that come to mind are the OBL raid, Iran Air 655, attacking that Doctors Without Borders hospital, and destroying that Sudanese pharmaceutical factory.
