Neutrality Amendment would this be a good idea email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 62/100. gewcew23 (3204)   ranked 398 out of 3,824 in politics5 months ago

A Neutrality Amendment which would insure that America stays out of world afairs unless attacked or a 2/3 supermajority of both branches of Congress votes to take action. Under this new Amendment America would remove all milatry bases around the world and stop foriegn aid to any country. Congress could always could approve to send money to a country or our troops, but it would take 2/3 supermajority instead of a simply 50+1 majority. Does anyone think this would be a good idea?

Honestly, there will be world peace if this happens. there should also be a clause that USA will not send or sell arms to any country.

How will this affect my country, Philippines?
Once the US soldiers get out of the sounthern Philippines, there will be no bombings and the people will live in peace. the hospital that they threatened to shoot if they continue to serve on a 24 hour basis will be open even at night and the sick can go to that hospital. there will be less raped cases here by US sildiers sinceat least 200 raped cases were reported and the US embassy just paid the victims to keep quiet! Since most foreign aid from US is used to imposed on us rules that are mostly detrimental to my people, we will be free of these aids and loans which really we can not pay. IMF-WB is the only bank in the world that gives loans to countries that have no capacity to pay!

Maybe a little too inflexible. We no longer live in a world where a country like America can just pull up the drawbridge and expect to be kept safe by the Atlantic and the Pacific. There could be a future time when a major power comes to dominate the rest of the world by knocking over one smaller country at a time, until America is both isolated and vulnerable to direct attack, and if you've got no allies...

Robert Heilein, the science fiction writer concocted a similar scenario for one of his books.

A constitutional admendment was passed (in the story) that except in the case of the country being directly attacked, gave the power to declare war to the people. That is, there could not be any war (other than response to an attack) unless the people voted directly for it. Additionally, all those voting for the war would be immediately drafted and sent to the front. BINGO, no more wars, at least in the book.

War is something that we should be careful about. I must say I have not heard of Robert Heilein, I will have to check out his writing. Sound like he is a good science fiction writer.

He was one of the best. He had numerous best sellers. TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE, STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND, STARSHIP TROOPERS and etc. Oh, I think I spelled his last name wrong, but it is close.

I do. part of the reason the US is unpopular world wide is due to US "Imperialism" I think it would be best to take a low profile in the world. Something like this amendment would help to avoid a future Iraqi mess.
