Reminds me of a conversation of I had with a Cameroonian recently. He said: "I don't understand how these drug dealers and criminals can get away with so much in your country [I'm from South Africa]. Where I'm from the soldiers will take you to the bush and execute you. That's how they brought peace to my country. The military kidnapped all the criminals and drug dealers and killed them". I don't have any way to verify this, but he seemed pretty happy about it and hoped they would do it in other countries too. edit: Wait... did I just read correctly? He gave the public permission to kill drug addicts? That's the WTF of the year.

"Where I'm from the soldiers will take you to the bush and execute you. That's how they brought peace to my country. The military kidnapped all the criminals and drug dealers and killed them" So, an armed faction took out another factions or group of factions out of the picture in the most simple and grotesque way, by kidnapping (instead of public apprehension) and summary execution (instead of prosecution with a trial that gives the culprits the chance to defend themselves). This armed faction has been called "the military"? And the murderous cleansing - "peace"? And after all this someone actually seriously considers them and their deeds as an example worth following? I find this kind of thinking comparable to any of the doctrines promoting mass murdering in the name of solving something and the individuals advocating such methods to be a danger to the general public!
