"However, I also believe in a sovereign nation's right to act in their own best interest."
Including Iran? Or North Korea? Or Japan in the 1930's?
Just wondering; I'm am much more non interventionist than most here; it seems to be an interesting question and situation - when do we pressure,threaten or ignore another nation. We CAN kick around Jordan, we can;t tell Russia or China squat and everybody else seems to be somewhere in between..

We CAN kick around Jordan, we can;t tell Russia or China squat .... Well, we wouldn't want to kick Jordan around. King Abdullah is one of the original good guys. Sandhurst, very pro-Western, knows lots of people over here.
As for China, nobody can tell them squat. At least in their own minds. That's what injured pride will do for you.
