I find it very odd that you of all people would feel that way.
If you say that because im a Mexican-American, ill say what I always tell my cousins south of the border, that the Southwest, at least today, is better off under US control than under Mexican control.

If you say that because im Pro-Palestine, ill say that I have no problem being righteous when dealing with foreign countries. Make the wrong right because it doesnt affect American interests in a negative way.

With the Hawaii issue though, I feel that it would be against American interests to 'do the right thing' and return the territory, so I will argue self interest over righteousness.
