Re: Reasons to go to war - not too amusing!
"Do you think there is necessarily something wrong with that, andy?"
If by "that," you mean forcing people to live the way we want them to live, yes, I do.
"Do you think that the democratic way is better than the dictatorial way?"
Yes, I do. That's why I don't want us to dictate to them how to run their affairs. The article was not talking about democracy vs. dictatorship. It was talking about forcing countries to be a part of "globalization."
"Things aren't all relative."
I agree. But neither are things all black and white. Hitler does not equal Saddam. Ho was not Stalin. Bush II does not equal Bush I. When we make such false equivalencies, it clouds our judgment and analysis, not to mention our policy decisions.
