No need to go too such extremes. It is already the case that no sane nation would attack the U.S., even minus our military. Any thoughts to the contrary are jingoistic nonsense.
Now, insane nations are another matter...
But then, what is sanity? How many leaders started wars when they believed that they would lose? Wouldn't a leader (or a group in power) think himself (themselves) to be sane when starting a war? I figure we are all a little bit insane, but the real clinical nut cases are the folks who don't know how insane they are.
One man's religion is another's perversion and they kill each other because of the difference. The Muslims see reality so differently from the way the Christians do, that the radical fundamentalist feel no remorse at enslaving or killing the infidels. Christians have hated and killed Jews for centuries. Lets not forget the Hindus or the Buddhist, etc. Yet, science has not found clear evidence of the supernatural actor(s) claimed by many of the religions. So, who's really sane out there on the road of Life?

The Jews were able to find refuge in the Christian areas of Britain and the United States. They were not allowed refuge in Saudi Arabia or Iran. The Moslems genocided the Christians of Turkey c. WWI and the Christians of Sudan in the 1990's. There have been waves of Jihad over non-Islamic peoples for centuries. It is one of the reasons the Communists did not like religion. It was too violent and unjust.
Weren't many Jews denied entry to the US and ended up dead in WW2? Boats were turned back from our (US) shores?
