    It is not the US's job to police the world. banghead

    I agree. That's why great powers in alliance have traditionally had the most success.

    Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

    I actually think we should draw back our military expenditures. I am merely arguing in favor of multi-national bodies that prevent the emergence of rogue states and thus wars.

    That's what the nuclear bomb is for, to put those who eff up in their place. Seemed to work well with Japan, woudln't you agree?

    It did, but I'm not sure that kind of brinkmanship is appropriate in the modern world.

    Yes. It did work well when no one else had any.

    Let's kill a few million people for the actions of what was probably a few thousand. Sounds like fun!

    The short answer is taht I do not think it would have mattered what we would have done leading up to WWII.

    I am not aware of any factual data that could support it, but as everyone knows, some things just happen.

    Either way, here is a pretty dang good source IYAM.

    Note: There was only one little nod in that that says isolationism may have helped Hitler rise to power.

    I mistook your words then.

    I do disagree that any multi-national body would be able to prevent war. MAYBE, MAYBE deter war a little but war finds a way to happen unfortunately.

    Fortunately for us, I don't see another traditional war happening again anytime soon. Most of the great military powers are on our side. The only real threats are terrorism, insurgencies, and rouge nations like North Korea getting access to nuclear weapons.

    I agree completely with traditional wars not happening.

    Those days are long gone, if another major war did occur it would be something vastly different, much like the difference between WWI and all the previous wars. So much better technology and the vast battlefields would be replaced with close quarter combat, and bombing along with a few tanks would take the place of infantry in huge fields. JMO

    Exactly. Maybe drone wars are possible. But large numbers of human combatants taking the field would about as outdated as cavalry charges in WWI

    I really, really doubt it. Our relationship with China is improving and to declare war on them would have drastic economic consequences. Both countries just benefit too much from one another.

    Because starting a major worldwide nuclear war is a better option than owing some money?
