Hawaii not "factually" a state of the United States


In a Maui News letter on the nature of 'sovereignty' in regards to Iraq, Petro Hoy says "Hawaii is not 'factually' a state of the United States! Hawaiians overwhelmingly made their wishes known with a legal vote historically showing that more than 90 percent of indigenous Hawaiians voted 'no' to annexation." (It was actually a petition, not a vote.)

Iraqi sovereignty is not Bush's to give

Please try to understand the frustration of educated Europeans who know too well the real meaning of "sovereignty"! For months we have been bombarded with Bush and White House infantile rhetoric regarding the "handing over" of full sovereignty to Iraq.

Those who swallow this propaganda, be it known the law of nations clearly states that: "Sovereignty is an inherent right of all nations." You cannot legally, arrogantly against the entire world and law of nations, invade a sovereign nation, kills its citizens and steal its sovereignty.

Bush has nothing to hand over to that invaded and injured nation. Time now to apologize to the United Nations and Europeans whom he so disgustingly insulted and hope that in time he might be forgiven for his cowboy antics and ignorance.

Hawaii is not "factually" a state of the United States! Hawaiians overwhelmingly made their wishes known with a legal vote historically showing that more than 90 percent of indigenous Hawaiians voted "no" to annexation. I have a copy of the signatures of those who voted against the illegal annexation. Interestingly, all of the signatures are fully legible and written in an educated manner, a task that today you would find it impossible to obtain should you take a similar vote by average Americans, whose illiteracy would be evident.

The American administration does not assist Americans in their comprehension of international law.
