I thought his comment was utterly stupid. I thought twice or more wethere he was joking or being for real. No one else has agreed with him. He hardly has offered any good follow up arguments and in the end he even seems to soften down his approach.

None of that was achieved by calling him a racist or anything else. He has a belief in some idea, that "dictatorships" are bad and we should do all we can to "liberate" the people of such dictatorships. That is his right.

Ideals are only half the story though. Pragmatism trumps most often. But there is no reason to insult the man rather than his thinking.

This comment I replied to has a fair point though. Shame it was tainted by the previous ones.
