SchlockoftheBarn, let's keep it legalistic and let's keep funding irregular fighters and mining civilian harbors out of the definition of invasion for a moment (the ICJ ruled it as state terrorism though in 1986).

Unitedfruit über alles or what?

"Does it make the US morally superior that Nicaragua coud never fight back?"

Yes

What precisely makes it morally superior to invade a small country time and again when it can't fight back?
