Hang back a moment here, folks!  Since when did
"invasion" become in the "best interests" of the U.S.????
I don't care how strategic something is, since when
did we start invading other countries/lands/places?!?!
The whole thing reminds me of Russia's invitation
from Afghanistan to come in and "help".

I don't know how endangered those students were (and I
haven't seen enough on the news to convince me they were)
but no one has explained what, if any negotiations went
on prior to this hubub to take them out peaceably.
Whether it was justified or not, I am amazed at the 
attitude here.  What's the difference between us and
the Russians now??  Aren't their ports strategic??
Don't we scream everytime they take over another "strategic"
country??  Seems to me the American philosophy has taken
a dramatic shift AWAY from human rights and back toward
imperialism.  Thank you, Mr. Reagan!
