It would be stupid because in theory Pogo's suggestion would put us on equal footing as countries like North Korea, Iran, Syria, etc., nations that have fundamentalist governments that are threats to the rest of the world.

There is nothing wrong with a nation or a few nations being more powerful, particular a country like the U.S., who can keep the peace throughout the world when needed. Not that I agree with the Monroe Doctrine, but that is the role we have taken.

I have no problem with countries working together to take on a common goal and combining their power to take on such countries. I would rather they spent as much energy getting rid of all nuclear weapons rather than those of nations we don't like presently. Just because India and Pakistan are our friends at the moment doesn't mean they always will be. But that's another topic.
