re: #192 Gus

Not strange. Half of America thinks we can be the world honey badger. IOW, we’d still likely invade Iraq all over again. ;) 50/50 so it’s not really a complete majority. Sure, people can question the UN. But there’s a great deal of that good old fashioned American arrogance or hubris at play here. Call it a Palinist view of the world if you will. More like the Bush-doctrine. Would it make sense sometimes? Sure it would.

I don’t know. I think there are situations in which we should ask permission —when we are not acting in our direct defense. I don’t think anyone needs permission for self-defense.
