Incidentally Blizzie think of places like Zimbabwe, Iran etc. Its the way of madness to think that we can act like a police force all around the world.
Ideally, we would not deal with dictatorships anywhere and would support democratic struggles in such countries. Eventually the people of each country would get a voice.
But how long do we wait while genocides occur?
Greed supports these regimes.
Genocide carries on in Darfur, while China seals its oil deals with the government.
Mr Mugabe and his wife go shopping in Paris, while the people starve at home.
I know it is imossible to police the whole world, but democracies standing up for democratic struggles would be a start and the UN having non democratic countries, such as Chna, on the Permanent Security Council is a bit of a farce, IMO.
I have hopes for Iraq's future. At least they have some chance of a better future, instead of Saddam's sons taking over after his death.
