The interesting thing about Hawaii is that it was not even taken over by the US government. It was actually taken over illegally by a group of American business men. I say illegally because even the US has admitted that they violated international law. However, with that said I do agree with Thalmor. Is what he saying morally right? No. However, few things are in this world. I will say this one last thing. The story of Hawaii a very interesting subject. They were a recognized country that was basically overthrown by American businessmen and then they basically paid the US government to swoop in and protect them. A lot like how Panama was created except those businessmen were French and this act did not completely destabilize the entire South American region.
