We should punctuate the difference between self-actualization and liberal colonization.

I'm not Iranian, Iran has no effect on my life, and I'm a pacifist.

Why would I compel someone to liberate themselves with a mistaken paternalism? It's irresponsible.

Since Iran is clearly seeking to remove the U.S. government, is arming democratic factions a morally justifiable response?
