Yeah, sure...just like they are "perfectly welcome" to come over here to the White House and Whitehall and say, "You have no right in the Middle East. Please remove all your troops, bases, and secret service people right now. Go home. Right now. Leave us alone. Pretty please?"

Your counterpoint is useless, because it's as unworkable as mine.

I am simply stating what IS occuring, and saying it's realpolitik, not trying to prove that they are good and we're evil. We just happen to have more power to project ourselves overseas at this time in history.

They had more power to do so when they were occupying Spain, remember?
