Do you think War's now days win...??

There’s a reason why the United States built (and usually maintains) incredibly strong military capabilities, overwhelming power is the only thing our enemies respect. So, on the next 9-11-like, attack, or far worse, we just say "we don't want to play“? It's not a very realistic sentiment. It seems the only way “not to play”, would be to accept becoming prisoners of another country: China, Russia, or an Islamic regime. The key would be getting every potential enemy to concurrently agree that they “don't want to play”, either. I mean, you can try, Lord knows people have been trying since time immemorial. I think human defects will always produce someone, somewhere, who DOES want to "play" and will see the "I don't want to play" movement as an ideal cover to mount an attack. Humans have always sought power over their fellows, at least, that seems to be our history. This character defect has landed us in the horrendous, mutual elimination, nuclear stand-off. Worse, now there’s the possibility that theocratic tyrannies, like Iran, will get nukes with leaders who may view using nukes, to wipe-out non-Muslims, like a "religious duty". Ahmadinejad and others have practicably said as much! I think that only God can achieve what you are advocating, and I don't think the current human population has done anything which would warrant divine intervention. As far as your relatives in the military and all our fighting men and women in the Mid East and North Africa, I hope we do bring them home. As it stands, today, our government has dropped them into a veritable hornet's nest, and then placed ridiculous rules of (non)engagement upon them, which hinders their ability to fight and destroys their morale.
