It is a failure no matter what the outcome is. The end doesn't justify the means.
You don’t get to rob people of their basic human rights. Ever. That is why they are called “human rights”. It means you don’t get to take them away.
- whimsicalism 4y agoDo we not routinely rob people of human rights when we go to war over things far smaller than 4 million lives?
- spookthesunset 4y agoIt doesn’t matter if it is for one person or 4 million. Human rights are human rights. Not just “sometimes” but always.
- swores 4y ago> You don’t get to rob people of their basic human rights. Ever. Pretty much every country on earth disagrees with such a binary statement, unless you can point me to one that doesn't have prisons. (I'm not saying prisons are wonderful or arguing for/against them here, nor saying that everyone in each country agrees with the current policies, just pointing out that all of our countries have laws that say you DO get to rob people of their basic human rights in certain situations.)
