Just wanted to get some feedback about this topic. I had been thinking about how the military technology has had an effect on America, and after today's discussion in class I figured that I could almost argue the exact opposite of Taylor. Instead of saying that technology has caused conflicts, I would say that the advancement in weapons technology has done more to keep America out of major conflicts than anything else. I would obviously need to narrow this down, but does this idea or topic sound interesting to anyone?

I think it would be an interesting thought, but very hard to prove because of it being so theoretical. Very little hard evidence would exist on the subject, and it isn't like the U.S. hasn't had its fair share of wars...
I don't disagree with the thesis, because as angry as most of the world is at the USA, they're still terrified of our military might. Finding scholars who agree with you and have the chutzpah to try to back it up with factual evidence would, in my opinion, be your biggest hindrance for this thesis.
