Historical necessity. Useless to whine about it after the fact due to some modernistic conception of "human rights" or "dignity". How many deaths would have been an acceptable price for democracy?

Not that I'm big on discussion of "rights", but utilitarianism doesn't consider them, human dignity, or any of our other pre-modern occupations. Such things tend to get in the way of "progress" and March Toward the Future.
