There is danger in inaction. Note that US soil isn't often annexed.

This damned thread has triggered all my pent up jingoism.

"America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still. " -- e.e. cummings

If you take orders for a living, your job is to be on the move. Not to be right. Ain't no one who matters who has time for being 100% in the right.

Everybody who is not self employed takes orders for a living.

The problem is that "being 100% in the right" doesn't seem to be their goal, not even a secondary one.
