“In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.” - John McCain.
Just the kind of guy this country needs as its next President: Someone either so senile he forgets that his own nation has already invaded two countries in the 21st century, or someone so hypocritically arrogant as to believe that such statements shouldn’t apply to America.

That wasn’t a nation being invaded! That was an, uhm, coalition of the willing! Hell, it wasn’t even an invasion, it was a liberation!

The United States is arrogant enough to deny the validity and jurisdiction of the World Court, why should the rest of the world think that any rules apply to the US?

Well, technically, it’s the armies that do the actual invasion. Most of the nation just sits back and watches it on their HDTV’s in the comfort of their climate controlled home theatre. Their participation is limited to a few rah-rahs, celebrating their own awesomeness, and quickly dodging out of the room for snacks when the casualty reports come on.

People will never get alone. be that race, gender, color, religion or any create stuff, humans will have difference and will fight each other. There is no way to avoid that.
I remember when I first come here, and even the poorest person in US looks rich to me. And yet there are fights on abortion, gay rights, evaluation in schools etc. All those tinny little things became so big here.
So basically poor country fight for food, rich country fights for ideas. If everything else is the same, hutus can fight with tusies.

But he’s right.
At most, they “liberate” them or “sort things out”. Lesser forms are just setting up conflict via agents, shipping weapons, raising tensions, etc…

I think - and this is going without any context - he meant nations SHOULDN’T. And I think he’s entirely right in that case.

Of course he’s right. He also supported and continues to support the US invasion of Iraq.
