I absolutely disagree, at least for me. I've never even been in a physical 
fight with anyone. I abhor violence and taking by force. There are certainly 
people who like to fight and bully others, but that doesn't apply to the 
whole species.

"Get him before he gets you"...don't wait until he commits an act against 
you (reminds me of that Tom Cruise movie where they 'predict' who will 
commit a crime and take them out before they can). WE decide he's an 
Evilbadguy, so WE decide he needs to be taken out.

The US has a LONG history of interfering in the sovereignty of other 
countries. We bribe/threaten them with financial aid, set up puppet 
governments, invade a country if we don't like how they are ruling 
themselves. The puppet governments we set up are often worse than the ones 
we took out, and alien to the people. We 'liberate' them into a world they 
may not want to join. We take away their native cultures and seedstock, then 
force them to buy ours. WE are the biggest bullies on the planet. Who gave 
us that right???  That's like your neighbor coming over and telling you how 
to run your homestead...what crops to plant, what animals to have, how you 
and your husband should interact. If you don't do as he says, he'll come 
over and burn your house to the ground, then help you rebuild, IF you do it 
his way. After all, he's superior to you, and it's for your own good.
