"Kelvin 's already proposed that the armed population of America has given serious protection to the US , specifically he mentioned Japan deciding not to invade . This is of course a nonsense . Iraq is a heavily armed nation -guns were given out to the general population before the USA invaded - ahem- I mean 'liberated ' . Did it stop the US ? Secondly , the specific example given ; that of Japan , is a nonsense . These same people who flung themselves in flying bombs , who refuesed to leave foxholes when starving - and would resort to cannibalism rather than surrender , he believes were worried about a few grannies carrying sawn-off shot-guns ."
"I 've asked this question and many others you may see me post , in a number of other forums . I 've recieved similar arguments , about a country not deciding to invade us . No Particular country was ever mentioned , However , if possible , I would like to belatedly clarify that I am asking this question in the context of the time we are now living in , as opposed to any other time . ( I 'm not sure if I made that at all clear in the post that started the thread . ) ( I take it that this question has been asked before in this forum , rather recently , I assume ? ? ? If not in an initial thread post , then perhaps within another thread . )"
