The point I was trying to make slipped completely over your head. You seem to think that I would blindly side with a stronger nation in order to protect ourselves. Does this not seem logical to you? To ally yourself with the side that would win a conflict? No, this is not what I am saying at all. The point I am making is this : We should do what we feel is right, regardless of who would side with us. Even if our allies would be angered by our actions. You seem to be encouraging some sort of Machiavellian society, though. One where we do all things in order to gain power and protect ourselves. We should not wait for popular support to move in and protect a people or country in distress. The world is never black and white, there are no absolutes. We must stop letting others tell us what to do, and listen instead to demands of our own people, and our collective conscience.
