the thought of our being policemen to the world is both exciting and at the same time scary...the scary part first...just one example...china leaves no doubt(even our cia can see that they are going to take taiwan within weeks or months...a sure thing...what do we do?...according to this piece we pre-emptively attack...we do and I believe we are at war immediately with china...probably n. korea as well as india or pakistan...and most likely other countries that i'm not smart enough to list...what is the minimum downside...china and maybe no. korea...launch nukes on 36k troops in so. korea...california to alaska at least...maximum downside...same scenario as above but russia decides to throw their nukes at us while we are trying to deal with china et. al...resulting in ww3, MILLIONS of USamericans DEAD and armageddon...please take the minimum downside china scenario and show me how wrong and dumb i am...this is pretty serious and scary stuff...my mind finds it incomprehensible...

Care to back up your assertion with some facts? One would think if China had any serious interest in invading Taiwan they would have done so when Slick Willie was in the White House. After all, there's no better guarantee of getting the United States to look the other way than having the president on your payroll.

Our best security, and the best security for liberty, justice, and the entire world, is our formidable power, especially military power. Hostile nations would not dare release World War III. Even the mad bolsheviks of the Soviet Union understood this and ultimately behaved sensibly. If the U.S. were weak and vulnerable, hostile nations and sundry madmen would tear us to shreds. As long as we are strong and resolute, the world is safe.

This is one reason why "Liberalism" is so dangerous. It weakens the U.S. and the U.S. resolve and tempts America's enemies to action that they would otherwise never dare to take. September 11 was one example.

There is a very important caveat:

The best of government is a necessary evil that inforces its authority by violence.

The federal government and the state governments are not the United States; they are its servants and the servants of the American people. They are very dangerous, and they must be held in check and their power limited.

This formidable power can be turned against U.S. citizens and used against them just as it can be used against foreign enemies. It can be used for evil purposes just as it can be used to protect liberty, justice, and the rights of people.

The power, scope, and influence of the federal AND THE STATE governments must not be increased!

This is a second reason why "Liberalism" is dangerous. It serves to INCREASE the power, scope, and reach of government!!!
