Perhaps, but two points. One, I'd rather not rely on the incompetence of
any government to make sure I'm free. Two, the US government is not a
foreign invader (it behaves like one internally and externally, but its, for
we who live here, our own homegrown fascist state) and has a long time to
perfect its policies. The Nazis didn't have that luxury.
