So there is absolutely no room for treaties or alliances in your imaginary nation?
|
I don't have an imaginary nation. I'm talking about the United States of America and what was a reality in this country. And I, like the the founders of the United States of America, am just fine with making treaties. We can make non-aggression treaties, trade agreement treaties, etc. Just no treaty that involves using the US military to defend any nation other than the United States.

And that article proves what? That one of the terrorists happened to visit Iraq? Guess what? the other 19 were living, training, and working in America. Does that mean America planned the attacks on September 11th?
So again, no amount of stretching will provide a link. The only link between Saddam and Al Queda is a mutual and vocal hatred of each other for decades.

Radar, so we should just let them bomb us with nukes?
|
Who said anything about letting people bomb us with nukes? Every country can have any weapon they want and doesn't require our permission or that of the UN. That doesn't mean we let them bomb us. Lately it seems the only way America won't attack you is if you have nukes. Nukes are just a way to make sure people don't do something stupid. It's like the old saying, "If everyone has a gun, everyone is polite".
We can peacefully ask them not to make nukes, or see if we can bribe them, but in the end no country or group of countries has the authority to tell another how they will defend themselves. Just as no person or group of people has the authority to tell you that you can't own a gun.
The supporters of the war in Iraq (Anti-Americans) sing a different tune when asked the following...
If the UN told America to disarm and said they would send in inspectors from Russia, Cuba, North Korea, Iraq, Lybia, Lebanon, and China into America to go through military bases, the Pentagon, the Whitehouse, hospitals, businesses, and even American homes at 3am without warning, with armed troops supporting them to make sure we got rid of all WMD's, what would you say? What if the people in China didn't like the way Americans were being treated and they pointed to the people unjustly being locked in jail for drug sales or use as the reason? What if China told George W. Bush to step down or they'd attack America? Do you think we should comply? If not, why is it ok to expect the leader of Iraq (equally sovereign as America) to step down or to threaten them? Why is it ok to tell them to disarm and to send inspectors in?
What makes you think American government has the authority to tell other sovereign nations what weapons they may or may not have when they don't even have the legal authority to do that to people inside of America.
