[Asclepius]

Well, isn't that a nice begging of the question?

No. Begging the question is where the "truth of the conclusion is assumed in the premises."

Please get your terms straight.

You responded: No. Begging the question is where the "truth of the conclusion is assumed in the premises." Please get your terms straight. Your assumption was that it mattered how the UN saw its own intrusions. That is the unproven assumption.

How those running the UN see their antics, leagally or morally, is no more relevant to the defense of American sovereignty than how Lenin, Hitler and Mao, saw their policies of intrusion into the affairs of others. We do not accept the idea that an intrusive force may define its own intrusions to our detriment.
