Is this 2003, or 1803?? The ideas of "sovereignty" must be adjusted for a modern world. The notion of a 'sovereign entity' carried with it in past times the obvious notion that events within borders were contained within those borders. Citizens and their actions pretty much remained within their country. War between countries has been "outlawed" by various measures for some time. Does it mean that once a country has committed unambiguous aggression, such as the invasion of Iran by Iraq in 1980, and the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq in 1990, that Iraq has purposely waived its sovereignty rights until...?? I would say yes. The notion of "statehood" in the Islamic world is a superimposition foreign to the core religion. The notion of "sovereignty" can only be a temporary status toward the ultimate goal of a world entirely Islamic, and ruled by Sharia. It is with that -fact- of Islam that the entire notion of "statehood" and the possible intervention of one state in the affairs of another, in the modern world, must be constructed. The 1815 notions do not apply.
