It's hard to discuss an abstract idea like that in relation to a specific incident where specific people died.

I disagree. We need to see this idea at its worst to understand the best.

7 Billion dead humans because of 'Freedom' would be worse than a few hundred dead people?

But each dead person had a life and a story.

What is best?

'few hundred dead people' is putting it pretty light when looking at the history of 'China-like' regimes.
