You’re kidding right? They haven’t changed their human rights policies in the least. They’ve changed to more of a market economy–and they only did that because their administered economies didn’t work, or because the leaders love of money overcame their socialist sentiments.
I suppose your idea of me jumping to conclusions is the same as my idea of getting to the essence of what you’re saying. You see, right now, during our little exchange, thousands of people have died at the hands of Kim, and I don’t know if the Hutus have anyone left to kill. No one did a thing or is doing anything to stop this. You included.
The problem now is that you’ve figured out another way to prolong the conclusions that anyone reading this exchange has drawn, that you don’t care a whip about the people you claim to care about.
And now you’ve got another 35 pages of nonsense to go on about, whether the Soviet Union and China are different, whether these two countries are now leaders in benevolence to their own people.
And if it weren’t for this conjured argument the answer to my question would have been–diplomacy has never changed the human rights policies of abusive regimes, never in the history of mankind. The only thing that has worked has been violence–someone killed the leaders, some other country conquered the evil madmen, or those evil leaders killed themselves. That’s it. That’s the real world. Deal with it.
