The only real possiblity for martial law would be if we were invaded by a country with the man power to do such a thing. Possibly China, but I serously doubt that it could happen in a matter of days. It is going to take longer than that to end the world, or save it, which ever way you prefer to look at it.

I'd like to react by quoting Henry Kissinger. Keep in mind the Oct7 (or thereabout) prediction:

Today, America would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the world government.
