and intrinsic good in the ideology that has proven triumphant. Adolph Hitler had every intention of replacing the British in the Reign of India; it was in this context, Mahatma Gandhi laid down the ultimatum of replacing one master with another or mobilizing oneself to be worthy of self-government. Had another party had intervened it is difficult to imagine the outcome would have been as great.The final point of reasoning against intervention is simply that even if human kind and the politics that man engages in were able to be benevolent in nature, there it would still be a difficult to identify what legitimate government is. Morals being subjective a Plato defined them; it is difficult to come to an international consensus. It is also difficult to determine what would constitute a fair consensus, fifty percent, seventy-five percent, whether we use proportional or first past the post or any other method of accurate representation.

Who is to say is Slobodan Milosoveciez is not a legitimate leader and that he is not within his scope of legitimacy in his policy. Had such intervention been used in the US Civil War, the USA may be a very different place today. The reasoning here is simply that the Western thought is not necessarily the 'right' thought. China and India represent a third of the world's population and they do not subscribe to interfering in other nations personal matters. The legitimacy of the will of the world's largest democracy (India), a population of citizens that outnumbers all of the other citizens of the free world, must be considered in our moral reasoning. The Indian policy is simply No Intervention. Thus it is outlined that it is very difficult to determine what is a legitimate sovereign nation and its interest.Clearly there is no room for intervention based on the three outlined points of reason...
