Exactly at which point does a war (any war) stop being defensive because according to the history books the US has never fought an aggressive war.
I prefer to think about the McDonald's paradox: No country that has a McDonald's has attacked another. :-).
Then either the paradox is dead wrong, or there is something unclear on the definition of what counts as "attack", as Clinton would say.
Life is hard. Sometimes, people with guns come and kick your ass. If you don't have guns, you can't kick their ass.
You can, but you have to have MUCH more superior strategy, and lots of luck. Weapons can mean a lot, but they are far from being everything.
