Some people are putting too much emphasis on my use of the word "invade", while ignoring the actual point I was making. Which is that the US uses its might to interfere in the business of other countries quite often, regardless of whether or not what we did in Mexico, Cuba, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Grenada, Afghanistan, or Iraq (and the Philippines and Hawaii) can be defined by quibblers as invasions or as other types of military aggression. And that point does relate to one of the points of the thread that has to do with secession from the union.

People can keep trying to purposely divert attention away from my actual point if they want, but personally, I think that's a waste of time.
