How do we as humans weigh the evils of actions like this against the evils of pro-actively changing governments that allow this? How do we live-and-let-live when this is what it comes to? I've read many times on here about how evil the Iraq war is, about how the American Empire is evil. I believe our intentions might not be up to snuff but I'm not sure the results of our actions are always worse than having done nothing at all (there are, of course, a lot of exceptions to this). Anyway - I wrote more about this here... would be interested in hearing how AmSam readers reconcile things like this.
