| Re: Anti-Imperialism causes war & suffering.
An interesting topic I think, and I'm not sure there's a definitive answer. Imperialism certainly causes more war and suffering than the current alternatives I think. I don't think anyone wants a situation where a larger nation can bully a smaller one around, and sort of impose its will that way. On the other hand, as has been said, these civil wars that result from anti-imperialism can last for years without conclusion. And perhaps the people in that country don't want outside help, which could be another potential problem I think.
Relating back to imperialism, I think there are issues going both ways, but I think anti-imperialism is more preferable. You're probably going to have conflicts either way, but the wars I think are on a far smaller scale when the stronger governments aren't intervening.(Captain Obvious has arrived!)
