I agree with you, ljk.

When it comes to human rights, I tend to lean toward the Liberal side. That said, I think the US has the responsibility (Being the top world power) to end dictatorships who thumb their noses at basic human rights, be it Iraq, North Korea, or troubled areas of Africa.

Of course, we canâ€™t go after them all at once. And it would be nice if the UN helped out.
