This is not the domestic civilian police force that Obama was talking about. This police force is to be used to enforce order in foreign countries, like in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the local police force is inadequate. Such a force would be handy to take to Mexico, too, to replace the corrupt local police, so the country can get a handle on the organized crime. They have had some positive results using their military as a substitute, but then you run into the problems inherent in using military for domestic law enforcement. What concerns me though, is that such a force would just get our nation more involved in policing the world, which I believe is not our job, and too costly for us to do, anyway. Of course, where there is a power vacuum in the world, it will either be filled with a "good guy" or a "bad guy". Currently, there are too many "bad guys" that would move to fill the vacuum if we didn't. Catch-22. :frown:
