Debate:Is the American Occupation of the Hawaiian Islands justified? (view source)
Revision as of 23:47, September 30, 2007
, 23:47, September 30, 2007→Affirmative Opinions
While I lean "yes" ([[Barack Obama]] being to me a sufficient justification for annexing Hawaii), it's fun to think about [[alternate histories]] of the late 19th century in which Hawaii is never added to the U. S., such as suggested in the article on the [[Confederate States of America]]. Even had it not been, Hawaii would surely have remained a gathering spot and melting pot for people from all over the world, as it was in 1961. I've been there -- go now, while you still don't need a passport! I'm also surprised to see that this debate appears to have fizzled out four months ago, before I had even heard of Conservapedia. -- [[User talk:Amyz|Amyz]] 18:20, June 1, 2007

I would have to agree with Ben on the point that while perhaps deciding that the original 'occupation' of Hawaii may have been incorrect, it borders on unconstitutional to all of a sudden tell everyone born there as American citizens that they're not in the club anymore and to go back to their monarchy. It would be difficult for them to reestablish a stable governemtn after being apart of the union for a hundred years [[User:Katieb|KTB]] 19:47, 30 September 2007 (EDT)
