28. Self-determination. It used to be considered a good thing.

Like after WWII, when we wanted the British to dismantle their empire.

Now the US wants to dominate the globe and countries (at least vulnerable countries with lots of oil) have no right to determine their own government.

The answer from the start was to work with the UN to help Iraq. Invading was unjustified and every day of the occupation is a continuing crime against the Iraqi people.
