Dear PR, Without interfering with your "impartial" disposition, I thought that I'd place the following for quiet reading: 1: I have been watching the US Republican contenders' debates ..... particularly what Ron Paul has had to say. 2: And while Ron Paul articulated his 'libertarian' thoughts as 'brilliantly' (NOT!) as Tony deSa did in his 'peanut' response to Ole_Xac BC, he (Ron Paul) has an underlying anti-aggression thread in his presentations. I agree with his view. 3: So, the questions remains: Is it OK to invade a territory which is not yours (e.g. Was it OK for Indonesia to invade E. Timor)? 4: Is it hypocritical (or not) to spout support for Self-determination and NOT afford that same right to others? 5: Is it OK for militarily stronger nations to invade militarily weaker nations and yet turn a blind eye towards others which are not weak militarily? 6: It is not who is sitting on the higher moral ground. It is "Who is a Hypocrite?" ! jc --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
