I was thinking more along the lines that you don't use a flamethrower to rid your house of termites. Our military was not designed to stop people from hijacking planes, yet many people want to treat the "War on Terrorism" as a new Cold War. RK made the remark about us "laying down our arms" like liberals are surender monkeies or whatever. But, the biggest attack on the nation could have been stopped by people without any weapons at all. If the hijackers were checked for sharp objects there would have been no attack.
I don't know--or really want to--what would happen if we had no military. I can't believe anyone would invade us. There might be more problems around the world, but I think we would stay sovereign without many problems. Hell, we might even be safer.
