Correct(and well done <vbg>.)

In front of so many witnesses (well, like, two <g>), can I profess my admiration to you? This is the first time I see someone so graciously admitting the validity of the other person's point :)

I think our non-intervention [in Iran] is helping

Definitely. It is always the best for a nation to build its own future. Outside bullying cannot help much and is likely to cause a backlash.

A country under outside threat unites behind its leader. Just look how Bush's ratings skyrocketed after 9/11 - before, everyone thought he was a moron, and now only non-Americans do :)

my position is that we must enforce international laws about crimes against humanity.

I have nothing against that. The proper way, however, is a trial, not invasion and seizing of the country's natural assets.

I also think that if Dahmer were crime-less for ten years, you wouldn't want him free.

But then again, he would not be set free in the first place, now would he?
