My comments are in no way negated. They leave out NO critical point whatsoever.

>>> What legal authority to we have to interfere in territorial disputs between countries on the other side of the globe or dictate their boundries?

There is no legal document that specifically limits our military objectives. If you had a point anywhere other than atop your head, there would have been an impeachment hearing over The Monroe Doctrine.

>>>What authority do we have to force a regime change because another country's leadership does not comply with our designs or live up to our ideals?

Since when has ANY nation needed authority to advance it's own national intrest? Never. Two weeks after The French through their hissy fit over our intentions in Iraq, their soldiers were ashore on The Ivory Coast. By what authority? The same authority by which a dog pees on a fire hydrant.

>>>>None of these things can be honestly interpreted as part of our national defense. Are our troops mercenaries or a global police force?

Typical liberal. Always go after the motives of your critics when you lack any factual basis to dispute their points. Millions of Americans walked around dishonestly interpreting every aspect of The War on Terror as part of our national defense. Does that tin foil hat of yours itch on warm Summer afternoons?

>>>>How does squandering American lives and moneys on actions beyond our territorial jurisdiction contribute to the government's purpose to secure our lives, liberties and properties?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe the phrase Nazi Germany's Nuclear Weapons Research should give you a clue. They probably had no plans to locate their factory in Toledo, Ohio where we could bomb it under the U89 Honest National Defence Doctrine.

>>>>These action in fact jeopardize the very things the government is chartered to protect yet you define it as courageous.

How dare I, I feel so guilt-ridden. Are sure that tin-foil hat of yours isn't causing you to itch and produce excess dander?

Let me know if you any further questions and do have a wonderful evening.

Oh I see your point now, since other countries interfere with their neighbors we should too. Since Britain, France, Germany and a host of other formally great nations bled themselves white with their foolish policies we should follow their examples. Sorry but my "pointy head", as you say, doesn't see how increased taxes, shedding blood and making enemies secures our life, liberty and property. Perhaps constantly finding our "national interest" lies overseas far beyond our borders causes some resentments. Funny but I don't hear much about these resentments and terrorism directed at valuable trading partners, only outside interference. Sounds like a cause and effect.
