I don't know if we *have* but some think we *can*...see

which gives a link making the argument that working to overthrow tyrants is
useful.
Again, I'm not sure I agree with that writer's view. Do you? What do you
think could be done to bring peace and freedom to those currently oppressed?
I know for sure it's not done by getting in bed with one tyrant to balance
off another, like what we seem to have done so many times.
Yet it's clear to me that the world is a safer and freer place now that the
US won the cold war (for the benefit of all), than it was back then.
