Interesting proposition and worth considering further. In the US the police tend to have control over community crime, even to a point where we could criticise them for over doing it in some circumstances. Some other countries are under the control of violent criminals, where the police are often a corrupted, or an ineffective part of that agenda. >>>We are currently fighting the Al Qaeda plot in the US via the policing agencies and not the US military. I ask why do we not continue to use the World police groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan also.<<< In many countries there is no difference between military and police.
