So, hostility to the US government is a reason to conquer a country? Even
though they had no way to threaten us?

Then the rest of the world has every right to invade the US, since Buch &
co
have threatened wildly. I'd say Russia ought to do it, since Bush wants to
set up the so-called missile defense right on their borders, or they, at
least, should do the same in Cuba.
