I didn't think it was possible to have such an unserious worldview to the point where you believe that it is inherently and automatically wrong to take any forceful actions against an unwilling third party. So if a brutal dictator takes power, and I wish to take forceful action against that, I will be sure to remember that it is me and not the dictator that is the morally bad party.

Everyone can have their own childish thoughts specially when I'm not in power or seeking a position where I have to make that hard choice, so I choose for me and I'll tell it to whoever asks.
