I believe that a nation is sovereign over the people and businesses that are within its borders.
I believe that a nation is not sovereign over what other nations can do. In fact I believe that if a nation insists on permanently limiting the sovereignty of another nation then there will be constant conflict and eventually wars.
I believe that governments receive their power from the people and not the other way around, for starters.
Second, there is a large difference of a unified coalition like the UN telling nations that have questionable pasts and ties to terrorism what weapons they may build and the US on it's own telling another nation that they have to allow women to vote.
