Politics & Government - 19 October 2006

For a guy whose mission is "ridding Y!A of stupid questions," he seems to ignore a lot of the stupid crap that comes from liberals around here. I just think it's more of a target-rich environment than he thinks it is.

The latest example of Washington's disturbing tendency to do Mexico's bidding concerns?

the popular bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman, whom U.S. marshals arrested last month. Mr. Chapman's crime? In June 2003,he apprehended Andrew Luster in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where the convicted rapist had fled some five months earlier. Because of

Mr. Chapman, Luster is now serving his 124-year sentence in California. We think this makes Mr. Chapman a hero; but the Mexican government says he's a criminal. Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico. So, when Mr. Chapman brought Luster into custody in Mexico he too was detained. But after posting bond, Mr. Chapman returned to Hawaii, where he's been ever since. The matter seemed to be dropped. Now, three years later, Mexico wants him back toface charges and the U.S. government appears ready to cooperate.

Can you give me an example of a situation where blind loyalty to a politician made things much worse?

I am all for loyalty to a politician/ administration, but sometimes the last thing a nation needs is for its leader to be surrounded by yes men. Richard Nixon wasn't entirely surrounded by yes men, but there were a select few that remained loyal to him even though they knew better. I could think of a modern example, but I am not even going to go there! I'll leave that up to you guys to bring up a modern example if you choose to do so.

Under what circumstances do foreign countries have the right (if at all) to invade another country?

Historically, many reasons have been given for invading other countries. Lateley the excuse is for home security. But what about protecting the rights of human beings? In NOrth Korea, thousands of people are being tortured and experimented on in nazi-like prison camps. Do we have the right to protect these people? Is it any of our business? Do we have the right to overthrow a government to protect its people from further persecution?
