Please just agree with me when I am right instead of adding the word violently to change the original meaning of your previous post Your not right. It isn't imposing our will. Had I not been right you wouldn't have had to stick in the word, violently, in your rewrite of your original post. Posting with you has become a p*ssing contest as opposed to getting at the truth. We played a role in their civil war.....I don't care what word you use. What gave us the right to participate in another country's business? It wasn't much of a country at the time. It was violent near anarchy. We tried to save lives and keep everything from totally going down the tubes. Its been a country far longer than we have. What gives you the right to make judgements about other people and their countries when you become outraged at the slightest hint that America's sovereignty has been violated. The hypocrisy is a bit overwhelming. And how would you feel about Iranian ships doing the same in the Gulf of Mexico? Iran was the one putting the ships we were protecting in danger in the first place. We had every right to keep Iran from impeding safe passage through the Persian Gulf. You didn't answer the question. How would you like if Iran came over here ostensibly to protect their ships? And how is that not imposing our politics and will? If defending someone against naked aggression is "imposing our politics and will", then there is nothing wrong with imposing our politics and will. No surprise there.......you come from the position that might makes right. There is no sense of morality. With that attitude, you better hope the US stays on top. Usually such a phrase would only be used for one initiating force or attempting conquest. If we were imposing our will by force then Kuwait was trying to impose its will by force when it shot back at the Iraqis. Should we consider their limited defense to be a negative or unjust act? There is nothing analogous in the comparison. ted
