Instead of using force, why not give people a choice? Freedom can only succeed when all the non-Christians bleed. ... What I meant to say was, Democracy can only succeed if people do not in-breed.

If people are not intelligent on all matters they must be intelligent on, Democracy cannot succeed. When they are un-intelligent, they can be persuaded. At that stage, the voters are nothing more than puppets, doing the bidding of politicians. It is little more than a bureaucratic monarchy. The people must think for themselves and be impervious to persuasion. One of the areas people must understand is the military. If other nations cannot breach our Naval defenses, how else could a nation possibly threaten the United States? One way is long-range missiles, which we can destroy mid-flight. The only other real and current means is through some type of sneak terrorist-like attack. This terrorist type guerrilla attack is not a matter for the military, therefore it is irrelevant when discussing the invading or occupying of foreign lands.

If the American people understood the military, they would have known Vietnam, Iraq and all the others were bullshit. None of the nations we have invaded since WWII have posed any threat to the United States. What we have learned, is the real threat comes from stupidity and furthermore, persuasion.
