In Response To: So, we need a topic...Lets try this? (Seraph)
One thing to consider is not so much whether a nation has the right to, but whether or not it should. I'm afraid I'll come across as a fascist for saying this, but here goes:
"Rights" are defined by authority. You have human and civil rights because those in authority choose to recognize them. Authority is derived from force, the ability to control you through coercion or whatever. Simply put, might (God help us) makes right. One nation can have the right to invade another simply because no higher authority takes action to stop it.
As to whether or not a nation should invade another, I can't speak to that and be abstract at the same time. I feel very strongly on the topic and don't care who I may offend. I don't think I need to discuss this issue here anyway, the whole "definition of evil" part of this thread seems to be doing a better job than I could.
