Imagine there's no countries.......
Everyone remembers the Beatles "Imagine" wherein a liberal communist one world government is imagined in where there are no countries.
But this imaginary angel has shown itself to be a demon in real life in Al Qaeda. A dangerous, sociopathic murderous band of cowards and thugs who roam free from country to country in the Arab and Muslim world with relative impunity. As Iraq is about to learn, when countries misbehave, they can't be brought to heel with actions and sanctions against the country; but countryless bands of terrorists and bandits are very difficult to root out.
While on the flip side, in suburban Maryland and Washington, D.C., the bumper sticker "If guns are criminalized, only criminals will have guns" is being played out with the murderous slaughter of unprepared and unarmed innocents by a brutal and murderous coward. Suburban Maryland and Washington, D.C. have some of the most stringent anti-gun laws in the world; but those cities are being terrorized by a dangerous, sociopathic murderous coward. TP knows that this murderer is a coward because all of the victims were not aware that they were in an area of hostilities. If this criminal was not a such coward, a fair fight with an aware opponent could easily
be arranged. Again, as this situation shows, there is no danger from a law abiding citizen owning a gun. There is much danger when criminals have guns and their targets are both unaware and unarmed.
