Please pay attention. We have unilaterally applied force
illegally in many parts of the world to change many governments
to our liking. Afghanistan is not the first nor is the current
action the first time we have intervened in that country.
Please give a slight benefit of the doubt if you don't mind. I
am saying generally that no country has the right to interfere
with another sovereign country accept under conditions of war.
It is a matter of some contention whether that is quite what we
have here and now or not. But it is not a matter of contention,
afaik, that this is generally conceded to be a principle that
leads to relative peace between nations.
Afghanistan did not attack us. Terrorists did. No matter how
you twist it, there is a bit of a difference.
