This is practically impossible to achieve in practice. Rome did it to Carthage. WWII maybe did it for Japan & Germany, but I could still picture a China vs Japan war with the US on Japan's side, started by a Japanese pre-emptive strike/ sneak attack on North Korea. Would that mean WW II didn't quite remove Japan's ability to cause trouble? WW I did not keep Germany from starting WW II. Maybe the harshness of the WW I victors helped promote WW II.
I suppose you are favoring Israel, and if Lebanon got a really good air-defence system & deputized Hezbollah to gaurd it's southern border, that would not be what you had in mind by "The right and the responsibility to make it so you cannot attack us again"

korea wasn't attacked but felt threatened/intimidated.so kim jong il has the right to restart their missile program and test out its missiles in the ocean to make sure they're ready for defense^__^ yes,we should worry about our safety.i think more should be done to safeguard the u.s.a borders on both sides of mexico and canada to prevent possible terrorists from secretly coming and plotting violent attacks.money shouldn't be an issue when it comes to safety.we've already spent so much on the war so building a thousand-plus miles of electric fences and more patrol shouldn't be a problem.we have the right to defend ourselves but if the terrorists want to attack us,they still can.where there's a will,there's a way.even terrorists have faith.i don't condone what's been happening.the war seems like it'll never end.

not all democrats think that we should turn the other cheek when attacked. just like not all republicans think that we should empty our nuclear arsneal into the middle east. isreal has been trying diplomacy for decades. for a while they would release 1000 prisoners so that they could get one soldier back. im guessing that they just snapped. yes you should try to make it so that they cant attack you but i think that isreal should THINK a little more before they attack a target. 3 presion bombs hit a un bunker not too long ago. it was an accident, yes but it was an avoidable mistake.

I agree, unfortunately this war we are in now makes it pretty tough to make sure we don't get attacked again. The best we can is try to prevent it.

Of course. It is only logical. And yet, if this question came up with a bunch of Liberals, they would probably vote for counseling and heart to heart conversation with those responsible for the attack. What some people don't get, is that the enemy hates us so much, they are willing to blow themselves up with us. Why is this so impossible to expalin to those on the Left?!!

I agree, it is called self-defense and I don't need a poll of the
rest of the countries to see if I should react or cease-fire! I heard
that today alone Hezbollah sent aprox 250 rockets into Israel.
If Israel isn't acting in self defense I don't know what you would call it.

Not necessarily. It depends on how you are going to "make it so you cannot attack us again" If you're going to accomplish that by killing everyone else, I'd say that's neither your right nor your responsibility. If you're going to do it by say, stealing all our weapons, I'd say maybe you have the right.

If you are evil & are doing bad things, & that you say bad things about me & you constantly irritate me to attack you first, doet it give you the right to kill whole of my Family, Friends & neighbors?
