America is having a mighty difficult time in Iraq. The same happened in Vietnam and Korea. Americans did this during the Revolutiuion.
The second problem is that there is no existing state to topple. In order to conquer "America" the attacker would have to have armies stationed all over the "US." Further, when the conquerer has conquered "America", giving orders to the conquered people will be diffucilt because there is no existing state to serve as a conduit between the conquered and the conquerer.

So, basically, you'd be willing to see America reduced to a state similar to that of Iraq, with ubiquitous street violence and guerilla warfare, just so you could have privitized defense? Very interesting.
