I believe in separatism, and I loathe alien control which is pretty much what Hawai'ians are living under. Why shouldn't this seperate people, race, culture, be allowed to govern itself completely? Why should Americans decide for them when they have managed for so long without you?
The argument that the alien control is justifiable on account of Hawai'i's vulnerability to other foreign peoples is not a good one. You don't need to control them and decide for them in order to protect them. You can leave them to theirs, and let it be known through behaviour or words that those who trespass on their sovereign right would trespass on your own principles and friendship and thus gain you as an enemy with it. This is the way it works in Europe. A strong country could certainly with ease take over some small European country, but most of Europe and even the world would fight you unless the strong country had a good reason to do as it did.
