[Peace-discuss] and yet, the lesser evil is very evil indeed.

"regime change" in North Korea,

Thanks for sharing the article, Wayne.

I have seen people who think they should be able to power over their
yard neighbors. But most people don't actually try to, they just wish
they could. At best, they create neighborhood rules that new people
have to abide by.

So why is it more acceptable for world powers to "reign in" nation neighbors?

I ask because the most common thing my professor friends say to me is:
"Powerful countries have always exercised their power. Why should the
United States be held to a higher standard?"

I lived in a country where there had been a very cruel dictator and a
very secretive government 20 years before. Ah, but the United States
had trained this guy militarily, groomed him, and essentially put him
into power. In other words, our regime change put the horrible
dictator into power. So far, we have never helped put in a good
person.

By the way, my friends' final conclusion is: "World domination is a
natural thing. You are wasting your time being a peace activist."
