Hi Mary,

Who are you (out of the blue!)?

Anyway, I've only said that a government which worsens the lives of its subjects for years or decades and refuses to reform should be removed by force. To me it seems common sense.

And I've posted a bunch today, and am tired, and am (by the way) in the middle of the evening where I live, so will pass on discussing your three assumptions, sorry about dat!

I am saying, we should first make ourselves better. We could do good by setting ourselves as a good example. Going into another country to kill their bad people should be very low on our list of priorities.

Well said.

1) We are morally superior. That may not always be the case, but just to simplify matters, let us say that that is true.

I think its a safe assumption when you are talking about government's like Saddam's regime or Kim Il Sung's.

2) We are only trying to help others.

Actually that is not assumed. That we are trying to help others is assumed by Elroy's argument but not that we are ONLY trying to help others.

Tim
