Keith, I have told you why I am worried. I don't trust the US government and military machine.

You have not set out the reasoning of the stated experts - of course we all know that experts engaged by governments say what the governments tell them to say - we have consistency in the USA about Guantanamo bay and the UK about the invasion of Iraq. I know not whether their reasoning might convince me: it has not been set out. I have, however set out my reasoning.

I have asked you to clarify the meaning of your words: -

"Richard, are you not aware that national self defence can justify an incursion without consent?
That is what you would have to argue against.
Some individuals do, but no country or organisation so far."

You have not done so but since you have conceded that the incursion was a violation of sovereignty the point is I now think moot.
