2. WHEN GOODS DON'T CROSS BORDERS, SOLDIERS DO?

"When goods don't cross borders, soldiers will." -- That quote is commonly attributed to Frederic Bastiat, an economist from the 1800's, though there's some disagreement about whether he actually originated the phrase. All that aside, what do you think?  What does the phrase mean?  Do you agree?  Do you think it works the other way as well - when goods cross borders, soldiers won't?   How does this relate to reasons nations might choose to trade?
