Does Size Matter?

I heard an interesting radio debate the other day, about how the US would react in response to aggression, taking into consideration the difference in land masses. A country like Israel, pound for pound, can hold their own with just about any country in the world, despite their size. Over many years the US has nominated itself as "the world's top cop". We insert ourselves pretty much anywhere we deem necessary, or I would say in some cases, not necessary. If the tables were turned and it was us that were on the receiving end of an aggressive country, how would we react? Let's also say that on a comparative scale, we were the little guy. There is no doubt in my mind that we would fight as hard, or harder, than we did when fighting to become a nation. So, maybe it's time to rethink the way we do business in other's business.

Make no mistake, I'm 100% for protecting the US and having a shared involvement in world affairs. I'm not in favor of destroying an infrastructure, then spending billions using our "apology though rebuild" policy.
