So, to prove your point you would demand war, death, destruction, disease, etc.. And at the end you would say, “You promised!” There are two types of law, contract and criminal. Criminal acts require action up to and including war. Contract violations require negotiation, penalties, and perhaps violence, but if you say it was necessary in all cases involving issues of political maps you are the epitomy of a warmonger. Self-determination is not scary unless your only goal is to maintain power.
“...you would demand...”
“...if you say it was necessary in all cases involving issues of political maps...”
I didn’t make a demand. I didn’t say it was necessary in all cases or even in any particular case. I stated what you should expect. I didn’t even state that the expectation should or would come to fruition in all cases. Just that you should have the expectation.
“if you say...you are the epitomy of a warmonger.”
I didn’t say it. That’s close to calling me a name for saying something I didn’t say.
“Self-determination is not scary unless your only goal is to maintain power.”
Some who depend on the nanny state for things they could do themselves might disagree.
“There are two types of law, contract and criminal. Criminal acts require action up to and including war. Contract violations require negotiation, penalties, and perhaps violence...”
Perhaps your world view is too narrow.
You claim there are two kinds of law, criminal and contract, and that criminal law requires a response, up to and including war.
What criminal act had Major Anderson performed that justified the southern initiation of war?
Rather, to prove my point, I would demand peace, and people who demand war because they can not win in court, or in the legislature should see more violence than they can stomach. and so it proved in that case.
There were no roadsided lined with gibbets at the end of the war. The deluded soldiers of the pretended confederacy merely had to go home and not make war. Exactly one confederate soldier was tried as a war criminal, and that was for the horrific prison camp at Andersonville. The rebels had murdered more US soldiers than that for the crime of being of African ancestry and daring to be a US soldier.
