<< Iran chose the Mullahs. That was self determination. >>

It is a shame that we can't treat countries like children, For instance, if your daughter wants to go out with a guy who has a long criminal record, sexually transmitted diseases, and sleeps with his mother, you can try to stop your daughter from making an obviously wrong decision.

If backward people in Iran, like children, want Mullahs to further destroy their crawl towards civilization, we should be able to stop them.

<< What we see as "evil" and what an indigenous people might think are "evil" are often quite dissimilar. >>

That is why so many of them starve to death, are tortured to death, are put into prison for decades, and are willing to commit suicide for 99 supposed virgins up in Heaven. But.... it is sooooo difficult to see who's definition of "evil" is correct.

<< Because our idea of "evil" is about what is good for us, the US of A, and not what is good for them. >>

You couldn't be more wrong. Or, could you?

We recklessly throw billions of foreign aid all over the globe, without any accountability. Albeit, our corporations use foreign labor, because it is cheaper, but that is just good business sense, not evil. Are some of our corporations corrupt, and mistreat employees, both here and abroad. Of course that happens. Look at Enron.
