I fail to see how timescale has any influence on a countries claim to territory.
Every country in the world is guilty of harbouring terrorists of some description, after all one mans terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
I did not single out any nation , that was done by the very nature of the OP, the last time I looked McCain was an American.
For a possible future president of the USA to proclaim that invasion is wrong after all the invasions they have instigated is simply ludicrous.
I made no attempt to justify Iraq / Kuwait , I simply pointed out that America and Britain invaded Iraq because of the same reasons that Russian troops now occupy Georgia.
How is it possible to say "It's okay for us to protect Kuwait by attacking Iraq but it isn't okay for Russia to do the same to Georgia"?

BTW my disdain isn't reserved for any particular nation (read my sig )
