Skeeter,

I honestly don't even fear an attack by Mexico or Canada. Do you really think either of those countries could sustain an attack against us, or even take over the country? I think we have enough troops here, the national guard, and reservists, that could put up one hell of a fight to win, and even if they couldn't win on their own they could make it tough enough and long enough on any bordering country that the rest of our forces would be able to get back here.

Me, I worry about things like China, Russia, and starvation. Supposedly, India is going to be the next country with 1 billion people. That is a lot of mouths to feed. If people are starving now, wait a decade or two as the population continues to grow.

Last but not least, I seriously agree that our borders have to be better protected. I am all for a border policy akin to Israel. It would suck to make an example of a couple of border crossers by killing them, but I guarantee that it would get the point across. Then again, God forbid if we ever need Mexico's help down the road.
