Quote: Your basic point is: They may have been oppressed so we made sure they were oppressed for "their own good."
So, now you feel qualified to tell me my own point? Anyhoo, I'm not speaking to this specific example, I acctually don't know enough about this example to say one way or the other and i do agknoledge that our country is capable of mistakes. I'm speaking in generalities. All freedom ends at the point where it adversely effects others. Freedom of assembly ends at the lines of private property, freedom of speech ends at threats and harrassment, freedom of press ends at lible and the list goes on.
But these people voted for Communism. Many believe Bush is oppressive (nearly 50% in the US and more than 60% outside the US), many think he's corrupt, and some would say evil. But the people chose him (the second time at least) so would you support the right of some foreign country to come in and install a dictator for our own good?
