Well, your idea has never been followed. It would require abrogating hundreds of treaties. Countries regard treaty responsibilities very seriously, and so does our court system.

Also "I meant when we use military force to obtain our agenda AGAINST the wishes of the people or the legal rulers of that sovereign nation" -- still needs more refinement. We could not have gone to war against Tojo under this standard.

BTW, do I get an apology for the "talk like idiots" line?
