delphinus Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Good point, (the first one) but there are several unarmed resistances that worked in humanity's history. Beside that, If the harassed population can't get out of the situation because they are starved and unarmed, and you really care about their right to have a democracy, you can help them with secret services, not freaking cluster bombs. For your second point i still believe there's not a lesser evil... at least not so marked as you seem to evaluate. The dictator that takes power with poulation's support is is far more hard to take it down! and no, i'm not comparing italian situation with Zimbabwe... (even if everyone understimate it) but i know a bit of my country's history, and i know that the dictator that led Italy to the ruins of wwII was the result of a slow process of distortion of minds and cultures with propaganda.

I did not once make any reference to the use of military force in the manner you suggest. I only incidated that the choice of how to intervene is not an easy thing to determine because the intervention may cause more harm than good. This thread's title after all is "should some lands meddle...", not "how should some lands meddle...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
