There is no more dangerous threat to the internal fabric of the United States and any country than internal chaos. The key to not having chaos in a society are three things: a strong family unit, a thriving educational system, and an effective police force. If the family unit breaks down, there will be havoc. If the educational systems fall apart, people will not grow up to be productive citizens. But if there is a non-effective police force that stands back while hooligans dominate, then all of the education and healthy home lives will be destroyed by a small minority that runs the streets.
