So what should define land ownership, how do we also propagate that rule/law/belief to the middle east. Simply having staked a flag on a land used to make it yours, by having both their feet on that ground could make it theirs.
If they had big enough guns, couldn't they just step into California and call it theirs again?
So we won the land during a war, not much a difference from stealing wouldn't you say? One uses force, the other doesn't. But the simple fact is that they used to live on that land and call it theirs until we rolled in.
If we were to share the 'land', could we manage to make it work in this different way?
