If it's the States right's to self determination.. then certainly we should..

I understand what you're trying to say. But, even if I agreed with you, I contend that the mere existence of a power is not a valid enough reason to exercise it or justify its exercise. This was the premise behind the Nuremberg trials. If the power subjugates rights then the power should be questioned, not the rights.
