Do you even feel safe on the streets, knowing that any other person might be armed and shoot you at any moment? No, I feel safer on the streets knowing that any person who might want to rob me does not know whether I have the means to defend myself or not. In the UK, he knows you do not. In regards to Iraq, previous behavior by Saddam Hussein leads one to a different take on the matter than that you pose.

Keep the door closed They forced the door open. Unless you have a rather solid door with a serious dead bolt its not exactly massively difficult to do so. If you try and coerce someone with the threat of force, they refuse, and you then use force, you - not they - are the one responsible for that force having been used. Iraq started the force when they invaded Kuwait. We overthrew that, and agreed to a cease fire, they also agreed to it. Don't follow the agreement and our agreement to not fire is also null and void.
