The Macho Libertarian Flash(tm) answer is that there is NO justification, short of actually being invaded by another sovereignty and needing to repel the attack, that justifies attack on another sovereign country. Nor is there any (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: We'll take in your poor, your homeless, your oppressed... —David Koudys
     (...) Well, let's talk about this, then, and keep it entirely in the realm of hypothetical. Country A is oppressive.

         Re: We'll take in your poor, your homeless, your oppressed... —David Koudys
     (...) Nope, I was genuinely intersted to see where the debate would go--I don't have a solid opinion on the matter, and this particular hypothetical scenario doesn't pertain to the current Iraqi situation. I did think about the American revolution, (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: We'll take in your poor, your homeless, your oppressed... —Dave Schuler
   (...) I'm curious--under the Flash(tm) philosophy, what happens if one sovereign nation invades and subjugates a second nation, thereby imposing the sovereignty of the invader over the invaded? What kind of action can be taken in response, since the (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

   (...) That's fine with me--I'm interested in examining the philosophy itself, (...) Okay, I think that makes some sense.

        Re: We'll take in your poor, your homeless, your oppressed... —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) In advance? Would you sign up for that? Or do you mean after the fact against people who were in already?

        Re: We'll take in your poor, your homeless, your oppressed... —Dave Schuler

Well, maybe this is a better hypothetical: What if the dominant nation (accepting, though, that the minarchist idea kind of trumps this) simply buys all territory surrounding the smaller nation and then charges the smaller nation a billion (...)

        Re: We'll take in your poor, your homeless, your oppressed... —Don Heyse
     (...) Hey, you know, I always (well, not really always) wondered why they don't do that with those "Native American" casinos you see popping up all over the place these days. Apparently they're able to fight that sort of thing off. (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: We'll take in your poor, your homeless, your oppressed... —Larry Pieniazek
