What complete and utter bullshit. You are the one trying to impose your utopia on the whole world. You want to decide what people must choose. You are the fascist.

Undemocrats cannot have moral equivalency with democrats. Understand this: undemocracy facilitates oppression and too often develops out of someone's seeking license to oppress some out-group, while democracy hinders oppression -- perhaps slowly, but so far as I can see, inevitably. This "different system" idea of yours prevents your actual understanding of what's at stake, and thus your thinking becomes self-obfuscated and ultimately self-defeated. To indulge a cliche, then the terrorists have won. Over you, anyway.

Moral equivalency is a myth. If you are deciding what is moral and what is not, you're in fact doing nothing more than judging everyone else to be, fer ya or agin ya. Pompous, to say the least, and the way of every aggressor since Caine.
