practical ? pragmatic ? perhaps

a shame we cannot permit those who would tolerate brutal dictatorships to live and raise their family in that environment

Sorry you feel that way.
Such is the state of the world, there are many countries, each with their problems. There is no global unity, other than some trading factions, and the UN. Nothing is fixed without consequences, and the effort needs to go through proper channels, such as they are. Painful? Merciless? I refer to it as human nature: we still have a long way to go.
I still don't see the sense in the US extending itself the way that it has, when it wasn't necessary: the effort could have been shared, with better results.
Bush opened a whole new door with Iraq: if we don't like the way you run your country, we'll turn it upside down for you, no matter what anyone else says. This is progress?!?
I think not...
