Like the child who's never seen the bonfire you think it's good idea to play with the matches by the hay barn. "There will happen nothing bad, if I only carefully kindle one small match for a second" - you think. So we lived in the USSR and thought that the very idea of war on our territory was fantastic. The idealism is the most expensive thing that everyone can't help paying.

What is your opinion of a possible effect on US foreign policy; that of potentially, decreasing the possibility of the federal government's enthusiasm for foreign entanglements? With a hypothetical nullification amendment, the several states could have refused to allow their state militias (state national guard units) to enter federal service. If enough states had nullified the federal governments request, there might not have been sufficient support for any invasion and occupation efforts by the federal government.
