Reply #5: I believe any country with overwhelming military power would use it.

It's just not reasonable to think that only good-hearted, fair-minded, decent people would aspire to power in such a country.

Such power would attract evil. Why would evil people be content with minor pickings when they could have the power to do whatever they liked?

Of course they would not admit they are evil. They would use propaganda to cover their real motives. So we would have to judge them by their actions.
