"Asia’s internal affair."
Draw me a nat'l border of that one. Ludicrous.
"Critics of the Monroe Doctrine, such as Noam Chomsky, argue that in practice the Monroe Doctrine has functioned as a declaration of hegemony and a right of unilateral intervention
over the Western Hemisphere – limited only by prudence, as in the case of British military. Chomsky points to the work of filibusters, most notably William Walker, who tried to conquer and annex various countries in Latin America…."
"…. However, in English, the term American is related almost exclusively to the nationals of the United States, although this was not always the case. Thus, while "America for the Americans" sounds very much like a call to share a common destiny, it becomes apparent that it could really imply: "America (the two continents) for the United States".

Who could draw the nat’l border of this one?
"May I remind you of your Monroe Doctrine?"
You may.
Thanks for your modesty and benevolence.
So? Your comparable declaration of such from the gov't of the PRC? Nada.
Equal and opposite, if not comparable.
No doctrine if you don't articulate such...
Should the articulation come in the same way as Mr. James Monroe stated? Should we need to have seventh annual State of the Union Address and should we, above all, need to address it to US Congress?
Sorry Sir, we do not have US Federal system of articulation. Our National Congress operates and articulates in a different way.
Yes, you are right; we have not yet articulated any such doctrine so far as our 17th National Congress is concerned.
...and your government hasn't.
Thank God, you did not say,
your government cannot.
"How many zeroes does one need to put to make it one million?"
Here's your comment which you must satisfy-
"...slaughter millions of innocent children and women..."
Not "one million". Millions, please and assure that ALL are women and children only. Can you isolate those numbers for me?
Finally, please don't attempt to assign all deaths of WOMEN AND CHILDREN from a given conflict to America's responsibility.
A good example would be the recent press release from UNAMA indicating that the taliban have killed nearly THREE TIMES the afghans of ISAF, much less America.
1965. Vietnam. Chief of Staff, US Air Force General Curtis E. Lemay made the infamous phrase:
"bomb them back into the Stone Age".
Yes, he made the statement towards the North Vietnamese.
Holy Jesus…!! Who could count the innocent civilians’ (of course women and children) scattered body parts mutilated and torn apart by cluster bombs, dumb bombs etc. on spot?
Same logic can be applied to that of Iraq and Afghanistan.
In times of war, it is not necessary that ordinary civilians are supposed to be killed always by bombs and bullets, famine, lack of health and other necessary items for living, can cause high casualties among civilians. Common sense says so.
If you don't, it would be like me choosing to assign all dead from the Chinese civil war to the communists and none to the kuomintang. That wouldn't make sense nor be ethically correct.
I see no effort by you to do so here and that's both surprising and disappointing.
It would be morally and statistically correct, should I choose, to assign all dead in the CCP's brutal consolidation of China following the ouster of the Kuomintang to Taiwan to your communist government. Clearly that was nobody's responsibility but the PRC's.
Now THAT is an INTERNAL AFFAIR that deserves externalizing. I've heard numbers within the PRC revolutionary consolidation that would easily satisfy your lust for "millions". However, slaughtering China's own sons and daughters isn't central to this discussion, is it?
May I humbly remind you of your US Civil War, 1861-1865?
USA v/s CSA
Casualties and losses
110,000 killed in action
360,000 total dead
275,200 wounded
93,000 killed in action
260,000 total dead
137,000+ wounded

Well, not to mention Cherokee War, the so called American Revolution, Creek War…

Finally, your data on Iraq is terribly skewed by your efforts to include the highly controversial LANCET data that is problematic WRT the cluster sampling underlying the methodology and the inconsistency of such between the first study in 2004 and the subsequent study of 2006.
I already said in my previous post why the LANCET data is controversial.
Its not surprising at all that invaders will try to defend their act of invasion and its subsequent results inhumane in character.
Again, aside from that, can you separate the overall numbers to isolate the women and children of Iraq slaughtered? That would be critical given your above stipulation of "millions"?
I did not use “millions” for Iraq invasion only. I never excluded Vietnam as well as Afghanistan invasions while using “
millions”.
Can you then separate the numbers again to identify which women and children were slaughtered by U.S. generated violence versus that by Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia (AQM) or the competing sunni/shia factions of the civil war arising from the Al-Askari mosque bombing in Samarrah on Feb. 22, 2006-often cited as the origin of the Iraqi civil war?
There is a difference between a civil war and war waged by an external military force on a sovereign country.
The headline of one article from Wikipedia says it was an invasion led by the US and its allies.
2003 invasion of Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Now, invasion means the act of an army that invades for conquest or plunder.
By the way, was not it unilateral decision on the part of the US?
"Did I make any exaggeration? I do not think so."
Of course you have. You've grossly exaggerated your claims without separating those dead by our hand from that of others and then again with the women and children whom you specifically identified as salient.
Out of nothing, nothing comes.
There is a theory called Causality which says “Causality is the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the second event is a consequence of the first.”
Causality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Any cause leads to its effect in simple words.
I think it’s quite understandable, who caused what or in other words who initiated the war (better say invasion) that resulted in bloodshed on both sides.
"Thanks for the compliment. After all its the Republic of China."
...and not the PEOPLES republic of China. All the difference in the world, it seems, or we wouldn't be discussing a notional invasion in 2018 on this thread, would we?
I am still strongly in favor of peaceful reunification. Yes,
reunification. And of course
peaceful.
My pleasure. You're welcome, sir.
He is also a Caucasian American.
Is not it embarrassing that the United States of America has the statue of liberty…? 
Fact is, you won't be able to do so. Overcoming your flawed decision to isolate "women and children" will prove impossible.
And impossible to prove for the lack of evidence deliberately destroyed on spot.
Choose your words carefully when debating others, sir.
Thanks for the kind advice.
You will be held accountable by some of the more astute to substantiate them with solid data from reputable and indisputable sources.
Just because the LANCET study becomes disputable for you, does one need to satisfy, say for example your CNN by the CNN study itself?
You've not done so to my satisfaction and you now know my concerns.
I voluntarily feel sorry for that.
Thanks.
Welcome.
