The United States should move towards actively promoting the demilitarization of whole
regions and countries. Starting with Central America and Mexico -- for what do they need
an army? National pride? Is it something to be proud that your people are leaving as fast
as they can while those remaining live in poverty? All to support an army, air force and
navy that under no conceivable circumstances that country would ever be using.
To those who argue that guerrillas and insurgencies would run rampant if the militaries
were disbanded I would point out that the billions spent on armaments and materials and
maintaining the army would be far better spent by the people themselves in the pursuit of
peace and harmony and happiness.
