Every region of the globe needs not only a military, but militias as well. Not only militias, either, but a generally armed populace. It boggles my mind when I have to argue this basic concept with people.
What further boggles my mind is that free speech doctrine isn't a required standard for joining the global community. How can we, as international governments/investors/citizens, take a country's government seriously when they don't even allow their citizens the very basic right of free speech?
