Tunisian Resistance

With Libya the object lesson, people are forgetting Tunisia.  Like Iran 30 years ago, and Egypt shortly thereafter, the evil regimes propped up by foreign imperialists are in fact overthrown by completely domestic efforts.  We need never engage in regime change since the people who would benefit, the oppressed citizens clearly from history can effect it themselves.  Cut out military spending 99.76% and we can be perfectly safe.

Our country was organized on the idea we would not have a standing army.  A well armed citizenry, yes, that does not pass its responsibility for self defense onto a "king."  This is the controversy over the 2nd amendment:  if you expect to be free, you better be armed.  Such sentiment is unthinkable to the modern mind, so the plain meaning is a real head-scratcher to those socially conditioned to believe they should dial 9-11 whenever they fear something, instead of putting a couple of rounds in a scattergun.  Problem is, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Our military interventionism is imposing an isolationism on USA.  As we kill more and more people we make more antipathy towards the USA and the American people.  Also, since we do not follow natural law, we are missing out on activities of people trading worldwide that are just avoiding any USA participation.  This is how our military might isolates us.  To survive as a nation we must cut our military at least 98% and get back to peace and prosperity and world trade.  When we had practically no military, the first country to recognize us, literally, as good was the Moslem country of Morocco. To this day these Moslems get an automatic 10 year visa if they want to come to USA.

We got off track letting big govt and big business become one.  To survive, the left has to give up the welfare state and the right has to give up the warfare state.  What are the chances of that?

In the meantime, having lost Libya oil, the Chinese are hardening their agreements with Iran and Pakistan.  According to this report, China will defend iran even if it means WWIII.
