I don't know about Australia, but the U.S. or any other country I am aware of declared WAR. You can't put troops in a sovereign country and just call it a war zone. Maybe other countries can,but our Constitution (which is apparently an obstacle for many) requires it. From my perspective, the situation has many elements that were created by the invasion and toppling of the leader of the regime, which we set up. If it was a WAR zone as it is referred to, then those problems could happen and that would be a terrible by-product of war. But without a declaration of war, we are just a bunch of renegades. Attempting to install something that they don't want and we have little knowledge of how it will work. I wish the people in the U.S. were as concerned with our rights as those of every podunk country they want to bully. Let Australia handle it however they want, we have enough of those problems we have generated ourselves.There are many sides in that conflict and they are all natives of the country, they don't agree amongst themselves, yet we are attemptoing to take a side. ANY side we take will be against the other sides, which builds coalitions.In that arena it will be a violent one.Plus, no matter what side we support, if they don't do as we wish, they too will be overturned.
