That would be a reasonable approach if there were any chance
of us "having a crack at the other dictatorships". What's more
likely is that if the current efforts succeed in destroying S.A.
(which I doubt), we'll have created another such dictatorship.
Would that be better? I don't know, but I don't think so.
