If all people everywhere were free to live wherever they wanted, wouldn't that force unpopular regimes to change or risk collapse? After all, people who didn't like their leaders could leave to a more favorable country and, in the case of a dictatorship, they would leave in great numbers, leaving the government with no one to repress. Is this a faulty analysis?

Letting malcontents leave is a boon to dictators, and leaves them with a submissive population. The malcontents should stay and work for reform and freedom. If the 2 million Cubans who've left after Castro took over didn't cut and run, he would have been gone long ago. But I have little confidence in their ability to produce a free society.

Look at it this way, Israel is a friend of the USA. If it were not for the USA in Iraq, USA dealing with Palestinians, USA dealing with terrorism, USA dealing with Arabs just how long do you think Israel would exist? " Is Iraq worth American lives?" you ask, the answer is " is Iraq worth Jewish lives? When you start to look at the situation in this light then the complexion of this war changes drastically. It has always been over Israel and the thought that they are simply there for the oil is just a pawn to hide the fact that they are really there just for the Jews. Now is that wrong? The Jews do deserve to exist and for the Arabs to want to completely annihilate them is not the way to go either. So the world has to figure out a way of living peacefully together. Hitler and some of the German people didn't like the Jews either but we see how disturbing their way of getting rid of them was and that surely was not right. The answer must be that both sides need to change so that they can co-exist with one another on this planet. I think Star Trek has the same problem with the Federation attempting to make peace between the differing space neighbors who seem bound. bent and determined to kill one another off. The Bush administration feels that they can end it with more troops but until the attempt really sets back the enemies of Israel I don't think the USA will be going too far away. Even if they do it will be only to the Persian Gulf or somewhere else where they sit in big destroyers and aircraft carriers with all guns pointed at Iraq, Iran and whoever else Bush thinks will, " bring it on ".

Open borders would lead to economic collapse.The United States would be flooded with more people than we could support while other countries would be left to the dictators who abide by no law anyway.

no...your thinking is flawed because you are not taking into account the human elements.
