Quote: the G-man said:As a historical fact, every single communist government on earth has been a dictatorship. If, as you admit, the alternative to Pinochet was a communist government, then the alternative to our "sending [you] into a dictatorship" was you sending yourself into a dictatorship.
Isn't that the whole point of "freedom?" The freedom to make choices, even if they turn out wrong. Free speech is based on the right to say unpopular things, free press is based on (or at least it used to be) on the idea of printing unpopular but true stories. The entire point of freedom (that this country was built on) is supposed to be that people make their choices, not other people making the choices for them. What if some foreign country decided that Bush's "War on Terror" was an evil war of global domination? How would you react if they invaded the US, killed Bush, and installed a dictator "for our own good?"
