@wonderingmind42 I would look up "The J Curve" ... basically less open societies are stable but are not as stable as very open societies ... but as one goes from one to the other,? stability drops.

Man, you go life in Afganistan under the orderly Taliban. Funny that many western people go for the romantic? opression

Maybe? a study of a decade pre and post regime change, and then study quality adjusted life years, coupled with the economic and environmental measurements.

Thumbs up if you saw m-ilk--can? in the title xD

US dictators can be a good thing. If you like watching Libya turned to rubble, ethnic cleansing of africans in libya, depleted uranium in war, economy? turned to shit, and Gaddahfi sodomized and lynched on youtube or public TV. Who or what constitutes a dick-tator? Who knows. But US/NATO puppets are the biggest fools since the SS. Fuck'em.

not just that in order to have democracy you need education and vigilance. Without? that democracy is useless as a viable system.
By: fz1844. on 20 Dec 11, 10:38:27
A further comment: democracy is the rulership of the people. This is only possible if people have? self-government first. But we are a nation of out-of-control people, who can't even govern our own weight and eating habits. Therefore, we are unfit to bring democracy to anyone else. We first need to topple our own dictators of greed and lust.

When you read the Wikipedia article on Gadaffi, you find out that he actually did a lot of good for his people, and even other parts of Africa. Perhaps the west didn't like that he was the first to demand a larger percentage of profits from the oil taken from his country. It seems we don't like dictators who make us pay more, but we are happy with those (and even set them up) who cooperate with our idea of commerce. And the "no fly zone"?? They can't fly, but we can fly planes to bomb them??

Speaking more to this video, well, yeah that's a power vacuum? for ya. I hate to say it's all in planning, but back when 'we' did it (USA!!), we had most of our ducks lined up before we threw off the oppressor; and we 'still' had a civil war. What will kill you faster? A gangrenous limb that you have to cut off, or a hemorrhagic gash you have when you decide to just chop it off and walk away, without cleaning the wound.

Democracy's failure is its lack of direction, The reason that groups naturally develop leaders is because they are efficient, and faults in modern examples of dictatorships are actually, simply, faults in their leaders and the systems that let them lead. The problem is when a dictator is able to rule with such power that he can target? people who would speak out against him. The only real check and balance system a government requires, is one that ensures the ruler is a servant of the people.

I disagree with your assumptions. Democracy gives everyone equal opportunity to express their view with? the purpose of allowing others to hear and determine for themselves what value the view has. The average person should be free to make their own decisions because that is the only way that a society can be functional. You start to take away my freedom and I become disfunctional. I protest instead of working, I stop cooperating, I intentionally cause harm to society, etc.
By: 1337ASM. on 15 Dec 11, 02:00:18
But surely, democracy says that everyone's views are equal, but you would never take the opinion of an average 5 year old on architectural design. Extreme example, but? the example shows that opinions are not equal. So why should we assume, that the average person should be free to make their own decisions ?

This video makes a person think. GREAT JOB! ? Thank you!

Dictators can never be a? good thing because the type of person who would ever want the job of dictator is the type of person who will brutalize other people.
By: UsenameUnavailible. on 10 Sep 11, 21:32:03
We need to replace dictatorships that only care about themselves with a military? dictator who actually gives a crap about the people. Tough love government.
By: heoTheo. on 06 Sep 11, 07:04:25
libie has one this different... the change came from the people first.. The NATO only helped with a no fly zone and supplies here? and there. The new government seems really organised.
By: openyourleftside. on 05 Sep 11, 10:55:07
Interesting thoughts but i'm inclined to say in this case that leaving Gadaffi to it would have been obviously the smarter option. We the western people of the world have been lied to about Gadaffi and his so called brutal dictatorship. America/Nato have funded rebels yet again to? do their dirty work and overthrow a Monarch for their lust of Oil. So i see it like this, there was way more libyians happy to live under Gadaffis regime than ther were Rebels wanting change..

Good points.?
By: TheZwieblekopf. on 02 Sep 11, 13:46:01
I have heard libyan nationals and libyan americans speak on this,and I heard some really intelligent sounding normal people who hope that this will be an oppertunity to get it right. I have also heard the same hopes from interviews with the rebels. with non-greed? influenced support,change can occure. I believe a majority wants real peace and an end to oppression in the region.alqueda will get theirs. freedom does not come cheap. if not you, someone has paid.thoughts are ok,support is better.

So, this is what our kids are being taught in the public schools? Every liberal cause under the sun can be found in your classroom. I don't even know where to start? Since you get your lesson plan from NPR, maybe you should be talking about this "illegal war" and how Obama is "killing defenseless children." Oh wait, that kind of rhetoric is saved for Republicans like Bush.? But, his wars were legal (Congress the UN). So, why the liberal silence? Maybe because he's pushing the Socialist Agenda?
By: ARBS6bfxtn. on 08 Aug 11, 03:45:40
Giddafi doesn't have a problem his people love him for what he? has done for his country! France and America are the ones with the problems They can't get their hands on the countries resources!

just teach your daughter to? pass a truck
By: ram0166. on 04 Aug 11, 16:50:26
Gee, you're almost making some sense there. Another good example is Yugoslavia: Dictator Tito dies after holding? the country together for forty years and within twenty years there's are permanent NATO missions in Bosnia and Kosovo to keep Serbs, Croats, Slovenes and Muslims from killing each other. They are all still pissed off about stuff that happened centuries ago.
