I too believe that most Americans have become soft. However, I also believe that our country's freedoms and rights are still held and revered by most, and that we would rise out of our Starbucks easy-chairs and defend those rights in the face of adversity.

One huge advantage to the US that will never go away is the fact that we are on our own continent - physically separated by two large oceans. This physically insulates us from a large-scale attack like almost no other nation. I know we didn't design it this way, but it works out pretty well in the long run.

Close but not quite. That's why we need to annex Canada. Long and poorly defended border. They have some nice real estate too. Haven't the Canadians always wanted to be ruled from Texas?
