"If two unjust men are fighting, the duty of a just man is not to attack the one who has committed marginally fewer gross injustices, nor to stay out of it, but to smash the power of both parties, and institute actual justice"

Really? and who died and made you God? If both sides agree to an impartial arbitration by a third party thats fine, but these are foreign nationals who are governed by their own governments.

Unless you agree that every self appointed world court has jurisdiction over the actions of Americans and America then it would be wise if America stayed out of conflicts that have no strategic significance to the US. It's just common sense.

"Really? and who died and made you God?"

That would be Jesus. Any self appointed court is welcome to tell us what it thinks is justice, and to try to enforce it too, if they want to die, which they are free to. And when I see injustice anywhere, I'm free to kill the bastards or to call on my government - which is my delegated agent for such matters - to do so. Anyone confused on this point is welcome to try crossing me. There is no impunity for injustice anywhere in the world, not in the stars or in states. I've signed no contract pledging I won't kill or remove tyrants wherever I find them, whenever it suits me, and neither have the rest of the American people. I have no obligations whatever to any foreign government. Not to let them oppress their neighbors, not to let them oppress their citizens, not to leave them alone. I can and will get in their face whenever I jolly well please. And if they don't like it, they can take it up with the Marine corps.
