There's the problem right there. In the opinion of a lot of people, the land was illegally stolen from the Kingdom. Search many other threads for that discussion.

Bottom line is that the State of Hawaii and the US government want to enforce their law using force.

Is it "might makes right" or "we are a nation of laws"? Can't have it both ways. Walking in the shoes of the other means acknowledging your own history as well as that of the other. So far, all I have seen from the "build it" team is a request that the other side move out of the way and quietly and peacefully disagree somewhere out of sight so they can continue their pattern over and over and over. We're not ready for the third way, yet.
