Under what authority does any country have to invade another country based on the notion that their ruler is a tyrant? As I recall in the UN Charter, invasion is authorized only because an aggressor state is actively attacking a victim state. The majority of Iraqis never wanted us there to begin with. The reasons given by the Bush Administration to go there are false, and the notion that we are there to spread freedom is just an excuse for the failure of even allowing our country to do such a stupid thing as deposing sovereign leaders because they are "tyrannical".
Ok, then, let's go after Kim Il Sung, invade him too, Hugo Chavez, Lushenko (Belorussia), Mugabe (Zimbabwe). Let's go on a freedom crusade and make the whole world free. Following that course would lead to world chaos.
The only legitimate government is the grass roots government of the people. eAnd as I rcall, before the Baath Party took power, Iraq was in the same civil war state that is in today. Has it ever occured to you that democracy is as foreign to them as authorianism is foreign to us? Democracy will only work if the people of Iraq want it to work. And as the current state of affairs make clear, they seem to only care about their sect or party's power share rather than the nation as a whole. |
I agree with the first statement but there is no doubt that "Tyranny" is only used as an excuse and never clearly explained for a reason .
Like "Democracy" which is another catchy word that is deliberatelly kept vague for it to mean anything for an aggressive super power. For example , I consider current regime in Washington to be tyrannical, it doesn't respect international, it constantly deceives abroad and at home, it breaks rules and even its own chapters in pursuit of its imperialist policies and funds various terrorist groups and dictators. Let's remember that democracy means rule of majority which is almost inherently against freedom and against personal property. It's all too easy to form majority under sophisticated media campaign which can turn tyrannical against other groups , individuals and personal property .
US itself is presented as constitutional republic and not a democracy but alas there has been substantial attempt to "democratize" it and turn it more authoritarian by the globalist elite that wants to rule the world
