Actually, lets pretend that the drug dealers in Mexico infiltrated the U.S. government, held all the states hostage and executed all the U.S. military (I know its a stretch but humor me). The normal everyday citizen has imminent threat to their life and their families lives if they even look at a cartel member sideways. If we didn’t have the power or will to overthrow them ourselves, and China offered, yes I would ask for help. I might have to swallow a large bit of pride, but yes, it would be welcome. Just because you or some hippies in CA think everyone in the world would be singing around the campfires while holding hands and burning all their shoes without the U.S. military around, doesn’t make it so. Yes, thousands that are now dead in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nazi Germany would still be alive today, but in what state. Does living in a state of fear for generations sound like happiness Fred? Does living with the threat of genocide for being born into a different clan (Iraq) sound like happieness to you Fred. Does laying down and submitting to servitude and/or imminent death sound like happiness to you Fred?

If you are not willing to take a stand for yourselves to better your country and society for yourself and your children, don’t complain when someone else does it for you. You Canadians have never had to live with that fear and therefor are not qualified to judge a nation who has to constantly be on defense against all sorts of evil. And the U.S. laying down their arms would do nothing to quell that dissent. Allowing the evil to grow in those nations like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, etc. only strengthens those enemy’s of the U.S. and allows them to gain a greater foothold to raise armies and weapons to bear against the U.S. and their allies.
