Freedom to Invade More than Once


President Bush asserted democracies do not war, but he never said they wouldn't cross territorial boundaries of other democracies to root out a terrorist threat. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama would launch attacks in Pakistan without regard to their sovereign rights. Israel invaded Southern Lebanon while bombing large parts of the rest of their democratic neighbor to the north. Their target was Hezbollah. Now, Turkey continues attacking newly democratic Iraq. One Turkish leader promised to stay until it wiped out some 4,000 PKK terrorists.

What happened to democracies having rule of law? I'm talking about the ones being invaded. Are Pakistan, Iraq and Lebanon not real democracies as they apparently cannot control terrorists making safe haven in their country? No safe haven...that means George W. may soon attack to root out those places breeding terrorists. How do you attack Iraq twice?
