I’m all for toppling tyrants and spreading Enlightenment values across the world. But whenever Western govts stage foreign interventions, they topple one tyrant only to see him replaced with another. And, instead of spreading Enlightenment values to others, they lose their own.
I'm all for it *in theory*. Surely, if we could achieve it without cost, it would be better to eliminate the tyrants of this world and spread rationality and human rights?

I was talking about in theory. The objection you raise is precisely why theory can't translate to practice.
