[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1174021, member: 4235"] I think another major reason Switzerland has never been invaded, even in WWII, is that it has never followed an interventionist foreign policy. in other words, they mind their own business and just don't ever give anybody a very good reason to be pissed at them. They didn't get in on any of the carving up of Europe after WWI, which was the main reason Germany attacked Poland, Czechoslovakia, and France in 1939-1940. I think our nation would be a lot safer and richer if we followed their example... just mind our own business in the world, while maintaining a strong defensive military force and armed populace, then sit back and trade with everybody and become rich. Let the other nations play the "world police" game and go into debt sending their troops on foreign adventures that do nothing other than make more enemies. Who in their right mind would attack a country that gives no provocation, and has the most sophisticated military as well as the largest armed populace in the world? I'm sure such a foreign policy would keep us a lot safer than the one we've been following for the past century. [/QUOTE]
