Hello Hawkmoon: Perhaps there is a particular bias that you haven't taken into consideration? M The Bias Towards Brutality and Totalitarianism By Carroll Andrew Morse Published 03/10/2004 If the international community refuses to apply the same due diligence to monitoring the abuse of human rights and democratic freedoms that is applied to monitoring the continuity of leadership, the international community can never be a force for democracy. If realistic judgments can be made with regard to minimum acceptable standards of civil order, why cannot realistic judgments be made about situations that demand action to remedy attacks on human rights and democratic freedoms -- even when that means challenging an established government? And if the international community will only promote human rights and democratic freedoms after a dictator has lost control, why should not a Hugo Chavez in Venezuela or the mullahs of Iran believe that their best chances of staying in power lie in establishing the most brutal, totalitarian control over their societies as is possible? techcentralstation.com
