Reply #2: If China was putting military bases in Mexico, would it be Mexico's call? I think not. [View All]

It would, of course, TECHNICALLY be Mexico's call, but the security of the region would very likely be the prime thing on everyone else's minds, and rightfully so. That's what the UN, the OAS and the international rule of law are all about: collective security. And when one country acts belligerently and becomes a threat to other countries, it is the LEGITIMATE concern of everyone in the region and in the world. Tragically, the UN was no bar to US war on Iraq and the slaughter of 100,000 innocent people in one night of bombing alone, to steal their oil. We should be appalled at this, not crowing like Bushwhacks that US "sovereignty" was respected in the UN failure to maintain international order. People of good will, and believers in democracy, should be encouraging international action to curtail US militarism!
