I'm talking about international crimes and analagies. If the US were appointed the international police and were allowed to invade countries based on the civil crimes done by their leaders, we'd have to be just about everywhere.
My analagy was: Just as one doesn't have the right to beat up on a guy because he might (or even probably) will do something bad in the future, the US can't go beating up on countries just because they might do something bad in the future. There has to have been an offense already committed.
