What is your interpretation on this .......

I wonder what if anyone answer Yes to Question 10 of Part 10B "Have you ever advocated (either directly or indirectly) the overthrow of any government by force or violence?". Does the impact of a YEs answer depends on whether USA goevrment want that government to be overthrown or it is just a bad answer? It is bad becaus ethe IO simply think you are not a loyal
type which has nothing to do with whever government it is.


I think even our goverment want some goverments of a few countries to be overthrown by force or violence but openly it is never a policy. Even some governbment USA dislike very much,
US government only advocate peaceful overthrown of that government but never by force or violence.

WBH - You have forwarded eloquent questions here. Specially if your IO have no clue about the current or past political history about that particular region/country/countries , if you answered yes to that question , you will be toast even though you were with the good people.i doubt if IO will have a very clear and concise information about the on going political situations more that what they hear and see on their LCD screens which by the way is the fraction of it.

The operative words in that sentence are 'force or violence'. Even then, answering yes is NOT an automatic denial otherwise it would be like saying that George Washington would have been refused US citizenship because he advocated and effected a change of government by violence.

The IOs may not know about your specific country, but they do know a lot about their own country and how it came into being.
