What if question regarding Iraq and other nations

[BarneyFife]

What "if", Russia invaded Iraq to take their oil oops I mean to liberate them, how would everyone feel? What if Germany invaded Cuba tomorrow? Would you guys support it?

No nation ought to be able to invade another without the blessing of the existing authority to do so... at this point I'm not sure there exists an authority on these crucial issues... I would then be left with the process of trying to ascertain facts without the ability to do so... or accept the agenda of the government vis a vis Cuba... I don't trust the government to be the fountain of truth that others do... so.... not lest I see or can reasonable deduce given limited access.... what reality may be.

Edit: re Russia... they have all the oil they need this century... so it would be to free Iraq from the US and in that matter... I'd be a bit miffed that they didn't wait till we left.. or happy if they did... Iraqis shouldn't be free.... they need the security of oppression.

The answer is yes. The US is the only country that has ever gone to the UN to permission to go to war. No other country has.

The answer is yes, unless the country being invaded has something we want, or the country doing the invading is a close ally.

Example Iraq invading Kuwait, Syria occupying Lebanon, Israel occupying Palestinian land.

I would call the Russians and ask why they are invading a nation currently doing nothing to increase the worlds available oil from production and are hardly the reason for THEIR sluggish sales. Do you even know the situation the Russians are in regarding their own oil exports? Obviously not, maybe you should take the time to do a little research before you create another anti-Bush thread. I can't believe out of ALL the things in Bush's past people harp on this war and the election, lol.

How many different terrorist organizations are associated with Castro? How many WMD has he admitted having? How many time has he waged war on a soveriegn nation? How many times has Castro committed acts of genocide on anyone via WMD?

Germany has already started 2 world wars, I would feel much better if they started in Cuba this time, can't get too far.

Sure, kick Castro's butt out and open Cuba back up as a US tourist destination. I'm all for it. Have you been to Cuba? Somehow I don't think so or you wouldn't think a German invasion a bad thing.
