Do you want our country to invade their country to set them free and impose our laws on them? Or maybe a boycott. Then we could sit back and wait for Europe to invade us or boycott us to free the prisoners on death row or get us to implement the Kyoto Protocol. Disagreements over Kyoto are a bit different then slavery. I'm not saying I want us to impose and end to it I'm just saying that doing so is not inherently wrong. In practice there are a lot of difficulties involved with doing this that make it a bad idea, but thats not the same as saying it is morally wrong. Well, for one, you and I and the rest of the gang could all chip in and raise enough money to buy all the slaves and then set them free. It might encourage slavers to grab more and give them the resources to do it with. Also many prostitutes are effectively slaves but they are not for sale as much as they are for rent. Tim
