2 Navy Seals should be sufficient to address this situation.

2 Navy Seals should be sufficient to address this situation. Oh sure, if you want it to be an unfair fight. I mean, 2 Navy seals completely outnumbers them. How about one Marine puts in an angry phone call, long distance?

Its always nice to have a little comic relief from the serious issues of the political future and economy.

Considering the politics and “American Idol culture” of the US today, can you blame them for wanting out?

I'm betting a single, low level State Department bureaucrat could solve this, just using his petty cash fund.

You can’t leave the Union: so says war of 1861-1865.

"This is the manifestation of the frustration of the Hawaiian people for the loss of sovereignty and land," English said.Yep. The Japanese have done peacefully what they couldn't do forcibly in 1941.

My family is from there. My dad says many of them are non-locals pretending to be hawaiians. Mixed minorities who look local like they could be Hawaiians: grifters from the south pacific, asians who claim to have hawaiian blood three generations ago, even full blooded africans who have lived in Hawaii for a couple of years and change their last names to hawaiian sounding names, etc, etc..... The ones who can claim they really have hawaiian blood are like 1/8 hawaiian or less. Some of them look like June Clever, but with some Hawaiian names and act all activist whenever they can hold a rally or get infront of a camera. All they want is a steady stream of welfare and subsidized housing from the liberal dominated corrupt democrats running that state. Sounds like I’m stereotyping, but its true.
The fact that they stormed Iolani palace means they want some $$$$.

Throw them in a volcano. Pele would like that since most of them aren’t even Hawaiians.

Sorry, but pandering hippie democrats think otherwise. They see lots of $$$$ coming into their campaign coffers from the unions that will run the casinos.

That's the best way to figure out the real Hawaiians...They'll be the ones who float.

Well - Hawaii is a blue state. I don’t know if Dems would like losing those House and Senate seats.

"This made a statement. It got the word out about the plight of the Hawaiian people." Note to Native Hawaiians, if there are any left.
See Philippine Island occupation by Japanese.
Be damn glad America was there for you.
