Hypocrisy?

Question

Would it be hypocrisy to believe that it is not our place to rid countries of dictators, but do think we should send humanitarian aid to darfur?

Answer 1

No there is a big difference between military action and humanitrian aid. Humanitarian Aid can be given by non governemental bodies such as the red cross and so forth.

Answer 2

No we should not be going into other countries and removing their government..whatever form it may be...it is not right unless they have attacked us.

Now humanitarian aid is a different matter as it is 1) not military 2) doesn't attempt to change social order 3) is food+medical supplies.

Should we help out...Yes
Should we take it over to fix it...No

Is it hypocrisy to believe in humanitarian aid while not removing dictators...No

Answer 3

Keeping the U.S.A. free is the best defense against Dictators being installed in other nations.
Free enterprise is what keeps hope alive in the hearts of those wanting to come to America.
Elitism and tyranny in ALL its forms must be resisted, but to militarily fight to free other nations of dictators is NOT the way to proceed.
We must KEEP America strong and resist Socialist tenancies to prevent the same from happening here.
All tyranny, be it right wing or left, is wrong and we must NOT support any government of any nation (including our own) when the power of the citizen is being eroded.
Resist higher taxes and the confiscation of guns.
Both guns and money represent power in the hands of the people and ALL efforts to take either from YOU is an effort to install tyranny HERE!
Keeep America a shining beacon to those who love freedom.
