depending on your diversity of responses!

On the surface of that i can see what you mean. Just look at what happened to Jonestown. Or Liberia. To dive deeper we see that if we continue with this sort of statecraft (and it may be already too late), we just Set Ourselves (meaning the u.s.a./nato) Up when "we" are no longer strong (as a nation). THEN "we" get scapegoated by the One World Government, I think. How convenient, eh? Now i'm a dreamer (but i'm not the only one!) and so i'm saying IF YOUR DIVERSITY OF RESPONSES IS DIVERSE ENOUGH i think there ARE WAYS to initially take on what some schools of thought would think were "irrational" or "stupid" or "unethical forces". But this is where communities invite the non-war-mongers/alleged defenders. The women and feminine intuition, for one! And how about kids' humanity in such things!! (i have a feeling that E.T. sends their kids, first, to meet us, to truly best feel us out!) If a whole community is involved meaningfully in self-defense (via intelligence rather than violence or the threat of such), i know there are ways to surprise and titilate those whom would otherwise be duped into forever sending "poor people to fight other poor people". Get it? But the martialists would need to take a "Back Seat". The idea is to TRY such approaches BEFORE falling back on the "military industrial complex" planted in our heads! Call it, like the Dutch Minister of Defense once did, "a boy's dream", but such is precisely my love and approach! Boys visionary dreaming, oh YEAH! Aiding us crucially in seeing and thinking and being MOTIVATED to try our bests in ongoing process!! !!
