In all of the banter among us peaceniks trying to stop the war, I have seen little discussion of the legitimate need for regime change.
Here you have a regime which has no respect for International Law. It’s a government that’s been convicted of terrorism by the World Court. The leader of this regime has the most evil weapons of mass destruction in the world at his disposal, and he has publicly stated his willingness to use them against any nation he disapproves of.
This regime came into power by rigging an election, and it has sent its agents to overturn the results of provincial elections it didn’t like. This is an invasive regime that permits police to detain, search and snoop virtually anyone they feel like with little or no judicial oversight.
Not only do they have a disdain for civil liberties, but they are also aggressively supressing dissent. Recently, riot police encircled a group of 600 dissidents who had congregated in a park in the capitol city. They herded these people into buses like cattle, even though they had committed no crime whatsoever (other than speaking out against the incumbent regime).
What we have here is a regime that is seen by most of the rest of the world as an arrogant, tyrannical and evil regime. SOMEBODY must liberate the millions of people who are suffering under its heal.
But who can help us?
