Not if it's a threat to us. If a people say they want to be oppressed and have thier freedoms taken away then they are no longer free. Look at North Korea.
do you honestly think that people went to the polls and said "hey, lets be oppresed?" No, they obviously didn't. They voted for the guy they thought was best, and maybe that Communist regime would've worked, who can say because it was never allowed to happen. A country is only a threat when they actually do something threatening. Like build missiles and point it at us or invade their neighbors. If that communist regime had turned oppressive, then the people of that country could've had a revolution. Your basic point is: They may have been oppressed so we made sure they were oppressed for "their own good."
