Who decides what's right? Whose job is it to say what's right and wrong? Do we listen to the goverment of the country we're going to invade, to see if they're right? Do we listen to the population of the country we're going to invade to see if they're right? Do we just decide on our own that we're right and do whatever fits our version of right?
There is no right. Just because there is no right, however, doesn't mean that there are no wrongs. There are always wrongs. There is just no one right way.
You cannot please all the people all of the time.
One of the often over looked "rights" our country has is the persuit of happieness. If we extend this to other countries, then there really can be no right. For my version of happieness may oppose your version of happieness. I should still have my right to seek happieness, or do I no longer get the right because it interfers with your right?
There is no right. Only many wrongs. The best you can hope for is causing as few wrongs as possible in your persuit of happieness. Or, tailor your view of happieness so that it inflicts as little wrongs as possible without giving up too much of your happieness.
Quzah.
