8. I have though a bit about some of these issues for years.
I have to admit that I even supported Tony Blair's vision of humanitarian military invasions.

The recent stoning of the poor child in Somalia brought up the issue again for me.

So, I agree with you. We need to use all the weapons at our disposal to fight injustice and, yes evil (even though such a word might not be too popular in our circles):

- Education I think might be our best bet
- Economic Development seems to help
- Put pressure on the Governments in some of these countries


Though, should we use force?

I happen to believe that we should have intervened in Rwanda, and now done more in Sudan.

But, it's difficult. Isn't it? :-(
