I'm not sure *any* nation, ever, has the right to remove other leaders, make war with other countries, no matter how crappy and sinister, at their whim, without the request of the people we are supposedly doing it for and without any reasonable and demonstrated case for self defense.
I am certainly sure that any nation that claims to do the above in self defense, incorrectly, has just done a bad thing. Unjustified killing is murder.
