I guess what Radar is saying is that if China invaded Canada, began slaughtering all its citizens, marshalling its natural resources and lining up troops and equipment along our nothern border that we'd all have to sit around with our thumb up our ass untill one of them actually stepped into our yard.

If the world worked like that, Radar, we'd all be speaking German or Russian and there would be no America having been airburshed out of the history books.

Sometimes, you have to take the fight to the bully. I realize you don't agree with that but a strict application of the Radar doctrine would result in our demise.

Additionally, using your logic, Japan could have bombed all of California into the sea and all we would have been allowed to do is shoot them down when they got close.

And, to be clear, I am not invoking this logic to defend our invasion of Iraq.
