Here's the thing, Forrest. This moral equivalency you're setting up (arguing for, I guess) only holds if you presume, as you kind of did, that the original 'country' is good, or 'decent' as you say. But that's called begging the question--assuming what you're trying to prove.

: Yeah, my empire is real nice and all. Doesn't change the
: fact that I kicked you out of your country and
: demolished all that you had built. You would be
: perfectly justified in assembling an army and coming
: in to kick my ass and take back your country.

This appears to assume that demolishing is in itself wrong. Demolishing isn't wrong if it's *evil* you're demolishing. You aren't good just because you were there first. They may have deserved to be demolished. And being good or evil isn't just a point of view: there's a reality behind it.
