Yeah. The U.S. has a “national interest” in being the only superpower to police all over the world. “International law” indeed allows that because it was created in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to justify European and later Euroamerican colonialism and imperialism and global domination. When will people wake up to realize the nature of empire and imperialism? Human history has been made far bloodier by those like Hillary Clinton, G. Bush, and now apparently Obama who killed people and pillage nations in the name of civilization, humanity, law, justice, and peace. The greater tragedy is not that, but the fact that we the people have elected these politicians and have supported their actions and invasions. What is wrong with our ability of judgment?

Earlier in July Japan expanded its Air Defense Identification Zone (Adiz), the space that the aircraft of other states can not fly in without being identified, near Taiwan in the East China Sea, without first consulting with Taipei. That zone between Taiwan and Japan was set by the Americans after it defeated Japan in WWII.
Now that Secretary Clinton has indicated that the USA is taken an interest in Asian border matters, will she also be telling the Japanese to pull back to the proper zone? That one is easier done as there are official records of the boundaries of the Identification Zone. Any officials from the USA, Taiwan or Japan reading this care to comment?
