But of course all of this is total bullshit to you. Might makes Right. If Hitler could have conquered all of Europe, more power to him. France and the UK were silly to declare war based on Poland. The Soviet Union was justified in virtually annexing all of Eastern Europe too, because Might makes Right. Saddam should have been allowed to conquer and annex Kuwait, because Might makes Right. If Japan can conquer and annex China and Southeast Asia, it is good, because Might makes Right. And most important of all, American can do whatever it pleases, because Might makes Right.
And Hawk, I'm sure there is absolutely no reason why you would believe it should be any different domestically, no? I mean, if powerful countries can do what they like to weaker ones, why shouldn't powerful groups of people within countries do what they like to weaker ones? Hitler could murder all the Jews in Germany, because there were more Germans and they were more powerful: Might makes Right. Hutus were more numerous and more powerful in Rwanda than Tutsis, they were right in destroying them: Might makes Right. China is more powerful than Tibet: Might makes Right. Turkey was more powerful than Armenia, it had a right to destroy Armenians because: Might makes Right. Totalitarian states had the right to do what they wanted to their populations, because Might makes Right.
This is the basic premise behind those that support Israel's "rights" in the West Bank and Gaza, and I at least appreciate that the Hawk is honest and consistent in his view: Might makes Right.
