I see absolutely no problem with it.
Sure it's nice to say "we respect the decisions of those even though we may
not agree with them", but isn't it time that we didn't? We have the gold,
let's make the rules. Let us declare boldly that killing is bad unless you
are killing a killer and be done with it.
Many will argue with the premise of "two wrongs don't make a right" but they
are working with the assumption that killing a killer is wrong in the first
place.
I'm not saying we should just bust into any country we decide is "bad", but
we should politely ask any ruler that practices acts of torture and murder
on his own people to step down. Then if they don;t, go get them.
What right have we? Every right in the world. We are protecting people to
provide their children with a greater genetic diversity. What other higher
purpose could there be?
