"Let The Bad Guys Be: The Perils of Foreign Intervention" with David Aaronovitch and Rory Stewart
Some leaders are so objectionable \u2013 Bashar al-Assad, Robert Mugabe \u2013 that it may seem only right to strain every sinew to get rid of them. But ghastly as their regimes may be, is there any reason to think that foreign intervention makes the situation better? \n\nQuite apart from the loss of life and limb to those intervening, what are the costs to those being "liberated"? In the end, forced to choose between these two evils, wouldn't most of us prefer tyranny to anarchy?\n\nIn this one on one debate from March 2011, David Aaronovitch and Rory Stewart debate the perils of foreign intervention.
