That is quite a stretch for me.

You can lead a horse to water...

Maybe the best thing we can do is improve ourselves and society, set an example, encourage others to adapt what works for them, and avoid entangling alliances. "Like a city on a hill..." and all that.

It sounds like you advocate a widespread campaign of saving people from themselves, an ultimately futile gesture that would in the end only replace one form of tyranny with another.

Putting out fires in some distant nation of pyromaniacs somehow just doesn't appeal to me.
