Re: Uhn-American

<What if you believe all countries should be sovereign and govern themselves?

Even if the government is a totalitarian hellhole? Did you think that South Africa had a right to keep apartheid as part of their social system? Why or why not?

What if you believe in international law?

Written by who? The United Nations, that sees nothing wrong with corruption, or making dictators the head of human rights committees? Should Al Capone have run the Chicago police department? There are many international laws pertaining to trade and other issues that work just fine. But attempts to submit national security to a vote of people who would just as soon see us dead is a nonstarter.

What if you don't think we should be grabbing world resources by force, co-ercion, bribery or sanctions instead of fair trade?

America has enriched countless nations precisely by free and voluntary trade. You have got to pull your head out of those websites run by leftover broken-down Marxists.
