And so you think that the countries that house Murderer Dictators like Hitler, or Saddam should just be left to their own devices. Even paying terrorists to go and murder citizens of other countries?

> This should start off with holding countries accountable for the murders of millions of their people.< I disagree. Internal problems of other countries are best solved by their people. ST, I cannot support that viewpoint. It is an enabling statement. It allows for Hitlers, Saddams and other mass murderers to operate freely. The severely oppressed cannot defend and protect themselves. If the free world is not willing to free them from oppression who will? uw

>> Internal problems of other countries are best solved by their people.<< Old style thinking. Very traditional. Nothing wrong with being traditional, but you're out of date. After years of listening to the Jacobs of the world (and the Sun Tzus) railing at us for backing the wrong dictator, it appears that we're going to act on their complaints, and quit looking the other way from despots. You know the drill "you're hypocrites for going after Saddam, and not North Korea, nor Saudi Arabia yak yak yak." Interesting experiment. Wonder how it will turn out.
