I'm always fascinated by these kinds of approaches to the US. Indonesia 
did the same thing when they wanted to invade Irian Jaya, and was told 
to go ahead, so long as US mines in Irian Jaya were not nationalised.

Why would the US government ever say "yes" to this sort of thing. I can 
just imagine the Australian govt asking permission to invade New Zealand 
and the US saying OK. (How else are we going to send all the Kiwis home, 
they won't leave by themselves!)

Cheers
