What if... What if we were a mostly neutral country that would only go to war if threatened or to help protect those who were being attacked. What if every American realized that not only are the thousands of American lives lost a tragedy but so is the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi lives that have been lost.
What if we were enabling other countries to enjoy the fruits of democracy (and capitalism) through support and economic encouragement rather than engaging in violent regime change?
What if we realized that our actions can cause hope and growth or despair and violence? What if we could get the world thinking that America was a good and helpful and not a crazy country but one that could always be counted on to stand for reason and right. Then we could be a constant and dependable force for good and others would want to be like us.
And over time countries like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran will slowly turn westernized, without any shots being fired.
