>Are there ones where all countries are equal? Although I agree with your basic POV here, that seems pretty utopian, i.e. ain't gonna happen. I hope this doesn't irritate you so much you go on hiatus.

Let me enjoy my two minutes of righteous adrenaline rush.

I'm just getting soooooo deurinated with this spilling the stool about these guys are thugs, militants and whatnots, whereas we are in oh such a dilemma - cursed if we intervene, cursed if we don't, all the time pretending that the problems these guys have are somehow exclusively their own doing. And pretending that there's some international law etc, while OTOH speaking about interventions, changing governments, protecting interests etc.

Let's just cut through the stool, and confess that the definition is:

good: when we raid the other village, and take their women

bad: when they do that to us.

Everything else is just PR for the naive.
