Description
Some leaders are so objectionable – Bashar al-Assad, Robert Mugabe – 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?

In this one on one debate from March 2011, David Aaronovitch and Rory Stewart debate the perils of foreign intervention. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
