[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Well, actually I don't think the US is in any danger of being invaded directly. The countries which border us have better things to do, or more pressing problems. Those that don't would have a tough time getting here. But there is a reason "against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC" is in certain oaths of defense. Paranoid? Perhaps, perhaps not. Tell me, Liam, do YOU trust my government? Slick Willie, Reno, et al? It it possible that an anti-freedom movement might, through conspiracy or subterfuge, corrupt the United States' government for its own ends? (Has it already?) Could Pat Robertson get elected president? Would there BE an election, four years later? If Y2K HAD been really bad, and the effects had lingered, say, a few years, would Willie have 'skipped' an election, 'for continuity?' Things like that have happened elsewhere. Whose to say what's impossible? Oh, and as to whether an inferior force fighting on its home ground can stave off a superior (numerically or technologically) force which isn't, necessarily, I don't have to say Vietnam. I can say Afghanistan, Columbia, Israel, and the U.K. (during WWII, you stood alone against a German onslaught for quite some time, as I recall) sometimes the Indians did rather well, too.
