I kinda disagree here. I'm not advocating invading another country just because we don't like their politics. However, I do think Human rights is a legitimate reason to be concerned about the politics of another country and there are plenty of options like imposing sanctions and putting political pressure on their influential neighbors that could be done by the US and/or the UN.

I'm not suggesting that these are particularly efficient or effective methods but I do think its better than sitting around doing nothing while people are being massacred. Too much of that goes on already.

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
