You really seem to have an affinity for tight-fisted police
states.
Is
that part of being a conservative?

When the alternative is genocide and never ending war, you bet your
ass.
Tito was a prick but the people who rose up after the Soviets left
were worse. Is the Ayatollah better than the Shah? (for anyone
but the
most radical muslim fundamentalists).

---------------------------

Some people are very critical of US installed or supported "puppet"
leaders like the Shah, but there has been a long history of
interest
in attempting to control the growth and influence of religiously
motivated Islamic Fundamentalists. It worked for many years but we
are losing that fight and ability. The Shah may have been
corrupt but
he was predictable and had some semblance of control. The
world is
certainly not safer when religious zealots take over, especially
those
who are fundamentalists in the Islam teachings and beliefs.

Remember, Harry is of the opinion that the religious zealots
causing problems in the world are
Christians.

Yeah, while hundreds of Christian churches are being burned, 100,000
displaced in Egypt... South America, etc.. The Muslim religion of hate
and intolerance is pushing this issue....

So is the Christian religion of hate and intolerance.

When was the last time a Christian beheaded someone simply because the
victim was not Christian?
When was the last time a Christian blew himself up in a crowded
marketplace, taking a few dozen non-Christians with him?
When was the last time a Christian flew airliners into buildings,
killing thousands of innocent people?
When was the last time a group of Christians declared death to all
non-Christians unless they converted?

There are many ways self-described Christians in this country have made
life miserable for people under their jurisdiction, through banning
abortions, cutbacks in social services, cutbacks in assistance programs,
et cetera. That's how in this country Christians are the religion of
hate and intolerance.
