While no one currently has the amphibious ability to assault the US, it wouldn't take more than a year or two to create it. Additionally if this were a U.N. sanctioned invasion then Canada and Mexico would probably be happy to participate.
Also our ties to Canada are becoming more and more strained. Unfortunately this is almost completely our own fault. Mexico is kind of funny. There is actually a big movement there (and in the U.S.) to return large parts of our country to Mexico. Something about Aztlan. China has both the military and the industrial ability to attempt something like this if we weren't militarily prepared. Brazil and a coalition of south American states could also pull off something similar. Not sure if you guys are paying attention but most of S. America is being run by radical socialists that are aligned with Cuba at this point. I could see the EU becoming an enemy in the next 20-50 years, not like we haven't fought a few wars there.

Because of these factors the US probably has better border barriers to invaders than Switzerland or Sweden. larry At 03:02 PM 9/9/2003, you wrote: >That's a along the lines of what I was going to say.
