Only problem with that theory Seeker is that you can't march a 600 million man army across the Pacific or Atlantic Oceans. Seeing as we have the largest(around 600 warships currently in commission or mothballed meaning they are ready to be brought back into service if needed) most technologically advanced Navy in the world there is absolutely no way any such army could be brought to our shores and it would take years for the "rest of the world" to build a similar navy to ours. We also control the sky with the largest and most technologically advanced Air Force in addition to our carrier based Naval Air combat wings, this would also take years of concerted effort on behalf of the rest of the world to equal. We can easily destroy any armada of ships or planes sent our way without even using nukes.
Our military spy satellites can tell us when a fly takes a shit in Africa so we have advance warning of any type of movement of troops or ships anywhere in the world. With this advance notice there is absolutely no possibility of taking us by "surprise." Unless of course China sends 10 million troops over here at once all disguised as tourists. If our goverment approves the use of tactical nukes for future combat we will have yet another devastating weapon to effectively wipe out any such World Army. Warfare today is very different than that of World Wars past. Our government doesn't spend so much money on Pentagon budgets for nothing. We have the most advanced miltary forces the world has ever seen. No one would dare take us on in a head to head challenge using conventional warfare and expect to "win." While nuclear warfare assures only mutual destruction and the annihilation of the human race, don't doubt that George Bush or Dick Cheney would hesitate to use nukes if threatened by such a force and yes we certainly could destroy such a large army with nukes, as a matter of fact we could pretty much wipe out the worlds population if we ever unleashed our full nuclear arsenal on this planet and got an in kind response from Russia and a few other smaller players. If not totally from the initial blasts and resulting firestorms then over the following months as the climate changed and a nuclear winter set in, followed by disease, famine, breakdown of societal order etc.... In a sense taking on the USA would be like taking on the ultimate madmen in Bush/Cheney since they have this power and are so jingoistic.
I hope and would definitely prefer for the USA to simply stop spending so much money and pay off our debts over time so this would never even have a remote chance of occuring. As for invading Canada I don't think Americans would like the idea much since we seem to have a certain affinity for each other, kind of like siblings. Whatever happens to the USA will definitely effect Canada as well so its in our mutual interests to take care of each other.
