huh?
You see nothing wrong with a country doing what it wants wrt that country's best interest? Was Iraq's invasion of Kuwait okay, then?
Or are there varying degrees as to what a country can do? As in, it's okay to do this, but not okay to do that? If so, what you said all of a sudden means very little. It becomes "I see nothing wrong w/ a country looking out for its best interest" as long as certain criteria are met.
You don't say what the criteria is, so either anything goes, or it's a meaningless thing to say. It didn't even hint at sounding enlightened.
So I'll see your "I see nothing wrong w/ a country looking out for its best interest." and raise you a polka dot poodle.
