Considering the terror threat and the nations finite resources, what should the federal priorities be regarding anti-terrorism measures?
Our best defense is to have no enemies. Enemies are created when the U.S. plays world cop, meddling in other countries affairs. Neutrality makes friends. The interventionist policies of Democrats and Republicans are a security disaster, and, more tragically, a waste of American lives. (Note: Neutrality is not isolationism. If an individual feels strongly about helping defend people in other countries, they should be allowed to do so voluntarily. They should be able to go themselves, send money, food, medicine, or weapons at their own expense. An example of this is voluntary American Jewish aid to Israel. Taxpayers, however, shouldnt be forced to fund intervention, no matter what country. Forced intervention via taxpayer dollars is coercion.) Free trade promotes international peace. When people in different countries trade with each other, they benefit in numerous ways. They dont want war to interrupt their trade. Interestingly, the U.S. government has never gone to war with another gov
