Which one is it? If we are deterring other countrys from attacking what happened on 9/11? We are not deterring anything. We are at a state of constant vigilance. The moment that guard is dropped we will get bombed again. Its inevitable that the guard will be dropped and as long as we meddle in other countries affairs we will suffer. There is nothing saying parents cant feed their own kids. This is to help children whos parents wont or cant feed them properly.I just happen to think we can have a military that would deter other countries to attack and have parents feed their children. Parents feeding their own children. What a novel idea!I said nothing of differences in cultures. I said minding our own business. Allies are due to similiar ideology not bloated defense budgets. With a "mind your business" approach we would have more allies not less. However you are going off on a tangent. Money should be spent on food not war.In a world as we have, you have to have allies. It's silly to think that we aren't going to have conflicts of interest just because of differences of cultures and governments.A simple fix for that would be to mind our own business and no one would want to attack us. Thats much cheaper than feeding the current war complex machine that guarantees future terrorists wishing to attack us. Besides we could cut our budget in half or something like that and still have the largest budget in the world for defense.No. We can take it from the bloated defense fund.
Yeah, that is a good idea. With other countries yell, "Down with America" and terrorists everywhere we don't need that big stick to scare them away from attacking us. After all, it's never been done! We've never been attacked on our soil,
