Right you are. The Crimea is not a modern-day Sudetenland. But please don't tell that to the neo-cons. They want perpetual war, everywhere and all the time. After all, America must be in everyone's business, everywhere and all the time.

Strawman fallacy filled nonsense.

The people of Crimea today have a right to self determination. And that right to self determination doesn't include a so called "election" which took place after the arrival of an invading army.

But in your stupid world one becomes a "neo-con" and a warmonger simply because they defend the right to the sovereignty of a country, the inalienable right to self determination and the principle of fair elections.

No. In my "stupid" world one becomes a neo-con when one insists on being the moral arbiter of everything, everywhere, all the time.

America crushed an internal rebellion in 1865. But no other nation may crush an internal rebellion unless America approves. Everything, everywhere is the business of a neo-con.

Don't get me wrong. America has vital interests to defend. But those interests are not everywhere, all the time. That's how empires go broke.
