Default Re: Reasons to go to war - not too amusing!

Do you think there is necessarily something wrong with that, andy?

Do you think that the democratic way is better than the dictatorial way?

Things aren't all relative. When a small band of thugs brutalizes and controls an entire country, philosophically speaking, it isn't just "our way" versus "their way"; to say that it is, is to confuse the "their way" of that small band with the "their way" of the entire populace of that country.

Dop you agree that Hitler's doctrine was evil or wrong? How about Pol Pot's ? Saddam's? Stalin's?

It's one thing to be appropriately leery of being too judgmental, or of being too egocentric or ethnocentric--but it's possible to err too far on the side of caution, as well.

The Axis of Evil is just that--if you consider it to be the governments not the people which we are labeling.
