Well, when the country in question...... is literally harboring Osama Bin Laden, then yes, we get to violate their "sovereignty".THAT is your argument. Do you then concede that this works both ways. When it's discovered that America is harboring Cuban, or Irish fugitives, or funding terrorist organizations, that they 'get' to violate American sovereignty?Maybe take out a suburb of Chicago where they've been having their little Noraid fundraisers, ultimately sending the weapons to Ireland that have been used to kill civilians?Maybe drop a bomb on Miami, just to take out a couple of Cubans who tried to overthrow Castro?You say you're not talking from a point of American exceptionalism, yet you've steadfastly refused to acknowledge that any reciprocal action against the United States is just as valid. This is either a simple failure of your logic, or an example of hubris. Judging by your casual dismissal of the rights of other nations, hubris seems the most likely. This would simply put you in the company of most Americans. USA Number One.
