The Right Thing

[poliphilo]

I believe it was the right thing to do to challenge Gaddafi.

When a murderous bully is gaining the upper hand- and you're bigger than he is and have a fair chance of stopping him, it's wrong to sit on your hands.

This intervention was possible. And the calculations suggest a fair outcome is likelier than a miserable one. 

I have, in the past, called myself a pacifist. Obviously this was a lie.

Even a pacifist will put down a rabid animal.

The guy is a mad dog, a danger to every living creature in his country. It's time to put him down.

Arguments that someone should be killed because they're less than human always make me uneasy.
