“In NO CASE were there violet acts initiated by those states against US assets.”
Not very bright, are you....while TECHNICALLY correct - Iraq as a state did not attack the USA - they were supporting terrorism and working on WMD. Read up on the rest. If we sent terrorists into Mexico to attack Mexicans, Mexico would have a right to try to get help against us.
“while TECHNICALLY correct”
That would be ABSOLUTELY correct.
Especially within the context of the disputed assertions.
