I have no idea what you are saying- your prose is less than clear. I support your right to say anything, no matter how silly. I do not support your right to intervene internationally, however. So protest all you want, but when you support launching armed invasions on spurious pretexts against other sovereign nations, I'm going to object- because that's against international law, and it's a really bad precedent. Let me give you an example- if the people in the US suddenly took it in to their heads to become a Christian theocracy, it would not be ok for China to come over here and invade in order to "promote" democracy, and give us a desperately needed "regime change". If the American people ever become so silly that they want a theocracy, then they should have one, until they grow the nards to value individual liberty more than lemminghood. While it might be fun to go around the globe changing things to suit ourselves, it's awfully expensive, and it tends to have unintended consequences.
