Excerpt from Chapter 10...page 235
------------
In our modern time, there is no reason for
America to ever start a war of any kind.
Period. I have stated this
numerous times and many people consider me to be a bit soft as a result of this
pronunciation.
However, I do see the need to maintain a
military and I do see the need on occasion to step in to rectify a situation
that is out of hand though we look at that as our normal doctrine of “defend, free, enforce”.
The only reason in this era that America would
initiate a military action that some might consider proactive is in terms of
wars of conquest. Whether based on
historical territorial disputes, or simply a desire by one country to expand its
territory, this will never be tolerated by military means.
As was initiated with the US purchase of
Kennedy and Newfoundland, growth can now be obtained by mutual negotiation and
or legal claims by the newly established global courts of geography. As nationalism has become less and less of a
driving force in the world, land transfers have become more and more a common
occurrence and have rectified the situation whereby one region feels the need
to invade another.
Finally, since the peace amnesty signed in
Bangkok in 2030 regarding conflicts of this nature, land disputes have
virtually dwindled away. Countries have
accepted their territorial boundaries and now more or less peacefully operate
within them.
