Re: "In fact, it is good and proper that we force our will upon them."

First let me quibble that you can't make a false assumption when you are asking a simple, "What do you call it...", polling for info, kind of question.

Second, when you say things like: "but I don't gve a sh@t what the leadership of Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Libya, or any other worthless tyranical regime thinks." I think that everyone pretty much agrees with you.

But it is not a question of what people think. It is a question of the morality of our behavior. "Is it right?", not "Does it make people happy?".

You may be implying [not sure, so correct me if I misinterpret] by your statement that I quoted in the subject, that when you are dealing with evil people, then you need not follow any ethical rules. That "all is permitted". If you are, then I think that's a disgusting, anti-Christian, nihilistic (by definition) view.
