   Sometimes it seems that way, and most times there's no choice about it.   
   But it strikes me that unless you are invited in -- and not by a bunch   
   of exiles who haven't been home in decades and who have a stake in   
   following you in and taking over for their own benefit, either -- I   
   think it's a bad idea to decide to be judge and jury about somebody   
   else's situation, particularly when you have ulterior motives that   
   cloud your perceptions so that you make atrocious blunders with the   
   lives of other people.  Playing world cop is a very, very dangerous   
   and arrogant thing to do, as our current quagmire illustrates.
