To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;
Furthermore; the United Nations Charter on Human Rights is, also, the Supreme Law of the Land:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwith-standing.
We can go after pirates, true.
That has nothing to do with moral obligation towards spreading democracy across the globe. So I don't really know what the **** you were trying to convey there.
We are also allowed to sign treaty, and so long as war isn't declared that treaty is considered law of the land. Did we sign a treaty that said it is the United States moral obligation to police the world and bring democracy to all? Cause I think I missed that one if we did.
We can go after those who violate the laws of nations; such as, Iran.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Charter, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, etc.
Then they can revolt.
If they are aggressor, yes we can fight them. If they attack us or others, we may respond (depending on what treaty we have active and if the action warrants response). We are not obligated nor authorized to run around the globe bringing our version of "democracy" to other countries. Nowhere are we authorized with that. Not by We the People, and not through treaty of the UN.
Iran is responsible for maiming and murdering hundreds, if not thousands, of Americans. No country has killed more americans without a war than iran in american history. The US is LOOOOOOONG overdue in crushing that fascist, illegal dictatorship of thugs and murderers...
No country has killed more people around the world (since 1945) than the US.
To be a superstate a country needs to have not only the biggest fist, but brains -- something the US policymakers are distinctly lacking. Since 1990-s the US lost all credibility it ever had.
From both of you: statistics and facts, please.
That's a huge time-span and a mega number and such numbers can be faulted and incorrect.
Take every war, conflict and coup started or orchestrated by the US and put together the number of all the victims.
But such a broad span really brings into question several different things:
How accurate are mortal-casualty reports
If we intercede into someone's civil war
If we, ... side with allies
I think we do, they are protesting the existing govt which is not democratic.And you don't know that they do.
So why don't you enlighten us all on what other kind of govt they might want.Iranian democracy activist Roya Boroumand, "Ask yourself why Iranians who protest in the street write things in English. They're not just practicing language skills."
