Spexx, darling... it's always good to replace a dictatorship with a democracy, and that very seldom happens by election, dictatorships being what they are. That seems to this democracy-lover to be quite a good and sufficient reason.

This has been understood in Christendom since the concept of 'just war' was floated in the fourth century by St. Augustine. And you were -- where? I perceive some lacunae in your education.

So, no: in this case, being anti-Republican is in no wise being patriotic, and you cannot show it so. Come on, you don't love democracy enough to want it to spread even into those places which most lack it? They'd benefit most from getting it, you know.
