: So we're speaking our minds.

: Good.

: If a country can remove a tyrant IN A GOOD WAY (ie: not
: the way Bush+Blair did), then it is morally OBLIGED to
: do so.

: Who gives a flying fork if the tyrant doesn't threaten
: your own country? You think that because your own
: country is sitting comfortably it gives you the right
: to let a dictator who makes their citizens lives
: misery or worse-than-death get away with everything,
: or even help it?

: If you do, you're screwed in the head.

Okay... so you seem to believe that a malign tyrant should be deposed. That's good. Me too. However, you don't seem to want to sacrifice anything for it... you just want it to... happen?

Fate does not allow us to be particularly creative, I'm afraid. If we have a very bad man torturing and hurting his people and know he will continue to torture and hurt his people, then the moral obligation — for any human being to another — is to stop it. There aren't many ways to do this, and history shows us which ways are effective and which are not. So what would you have done? Would you allow the tyrant to continue the abuse, or end it and improve the overall wellfare of the world?

Would you allow Adolph Hitler III to be ruling Europe under the banner of the Third Reich to this day, instead of having waged war against him to stop him?
