For the least humanitarian of actions, you need only read a comprehensive history of world communism -- the end effect, indeed the whole point of the thing, was oppression, wholesale, nearly psychotic -- oppression was communism's answer to every problem, when you get right down to it. Shoot all complainers:
Explain to me then Guantanamo Bay. Explain to me how a state which supposedly values freedom and justice would seek to remove habeas corpus and the basics of a free trial? Don't get me wrong UG, this isn't just a slam against America: the UK now has several citizens under house arrest, their choice of where to live removed; their homes subject to summarary search; their right to use telephones, internet and other telecoms removed; their movements scrutinised and checked through the wearing of tags.......and all with no trial and no right to see the evidence against them.
