RE: The best national defense is a population that refuses to be governed
Sorry to contradict, but what if in a foreign country, a crazy Bastard like Hitler comes to power... what if France, the UK and USA had been without armies at the time. The guy was not really interested in money or even his people, but in simple straight forward domination of other cultures and races.
I am a pacifist, and think that humanity will have to evolve and get rid of armies and weapons on the long run in order to survive. So in the absolute, I agree with you, But are we ready for this?
However, I do agree with something that transpires from your post. Governements tend to blow up the 'terrorist' threat out of proportion and use it to bring fear into their populations. Then they use this fear to increase control. This is a frightening strategy that I witness everyday on the main media. It saddens me to see that 90% of the population falls for it :-(.
Very sad, but true.
