I don't think our constitution says anything about bombing other countries who don't do things we approve of. Can you explain where that might be in the constitution? Or the Declaration of Independence?

I hope you realize that my POV- that governments are instituted by men, and that they get their power from the consent of the government, and that men have the power to abolish their governments- is really what I am saying. As far as I am aware, our founders never said "And we have the right to meddle in the affairs of other countries because we don't like the way they are governing themselves."

But hey, if you can find some shred of evidence that either of the documents you reference supports your view, bring it on.
