    I might as well say this. I never supported President George W. Bush, 2001-2009. I mean, I never would have voted for him. And I did disagree with most of his policies. But some things he did I did support.

    Like for example the War in Afghanistan after 9-11. And the Second Gulf War with its nation building. Because, the questions those conflicts brought up was, do we have the right to take over a country, and force it accept our principles and laws? When they are guilty of serious human rights violations and crimes against humanity, I have always believed yes. Do we have the right stop someone from harming their own people? Even if that means we replace them with another leader? Perhaps even one we chose? Yes, again. And the bigger question, do we have a right to judge how goodness and badness, the rightness and wrongness, of another country, another group? Well, they can believe what they want. But when their beliefs make them harm and oppress others, I always have said yes.

    So to answer all those questions. Yes, yes, yes and yes. Just to make clear.
