true.
and if he has no weapon at hand he/she first has to buy/steal one.

If a neighbor of
mine has "riffles" I should certainly think he has been drinking. I feel
safe (not save) knowing that the US has the military ability to thwart any
aggressor, sure.

it is ok for me that a country operates a military that is able to defend
itself from _agressors_.

The US and USSR played out a classic arms race. When one has to deal with
evil governments then one has to have a deterrant. Nukes were that
deterrant for both sides. (They of course felt we were evil, and I hope I
don't have to explain whose side was right)

it is always a matter of your viewpoint :-) oly winning the arms race
doesn't make you the one with the white hat automatically.
