> we have to be very careful about distinguishing between the latest opportunistic power grab, and what's needed to let the country get back on its feet economically and socially.

I agree 100%. Doing the right thing means setting the right foundation and seeing it through. It is a hard and time consuming task which requires force only as the last resort and every effort to avoid it coming down to use of force.


I did not say we should not help them. I said we should not transplant every western concept in there and unleash armies of feminists and missionaries who have little understanding of the local culture and even less respect for it.
