What about a hypothetical Saddam organising an attack on US territory
in order to defend the people of Seattle, or local muslim from
discrimination? I think we are on a dangerous slope here.
It is difficult to imagine a literal and absolute application of the
time-honoured principle of non-interference, but the opposite is
definitely at odd with any meaningful concept of self-determination
and independence.
