"why is it OK for citizens of a given country to abuse and kill their fellow citizens, but not OK for the US to abuse and kill the abusers?"

Because there is the concept of "sovereignty". It is such that for the US or any other country to violate it requires extraordinary circumstances. In addition, it is probably a smart thing to line up as many countries as possible when it needs to be done to keep from being branded a "rogue" country.

I agree completely. I think the US and most other country's don't get involved in other soveriegn country's biz except in cases of extraordinary circumstance.

My point is that it some extraordinary cases it IS justified and beneficial for the world. If, like Ted, you think it is NEVER justified and beneficial then there isn't much point in discussing specific "invasions" because you are starting from fundamentally different value systems.

It's like trying to discuss when abortion is OK with someone who thinks it is never OK - why bother?
