LH, you state "I respect any society that genuinely intends to protect its own borders and not to attack its neighbours or someone on the other side of the world."

Please move up to the present, and rememeber that the other side of the world is now less than 45 minutes away by ballistic missile. ALL of the world are now neighbors- and if a neighbor violates the law, endangering YOU, would you just sit in your uard and ignore it?


We have laws that some ( child molesters and such ) HAVE to act in certain ways ( avoiding schools and playgrounds) When they violate these rules, they are punished- EVEN IF THEY HAVE NOT COMMITTED an illegal action otherwise.

Saddam was told, after Kuwait, to act a certain way. He chose not to, and was punished ( after repeated efforts by the UN, and a last and final chance to comply)

Has the US attacked Canada? Or Mexico ( since 1915)?
