Interesting post.

Re: "we have been on an almost continual war footing, exacerbated by the devolution of responsibilities previously discharged by the British Empire for ensuring a balance of power among the Great Powers and keeping open the sea lanes. Even during the Clinton Administration, we continued with our NATO commitment, kept policing the Korean DMZ, and intervened in Bosnia and Kosovo, Haiti and Somalia. Now, we are trying to deal with the amorphous scourge of terrorism."

>>> Do you think (now that Europe's standard of living is right up there with ours, and Korea is 'first world' too), that we can 'tax' those lucky foreigners for the great benefits that we bring them... or do you think they believe that we - like any nation - are mostly out for our own interests, and are not bestowing munificence blindly around the globe?

>>> If they'll pay the 'US tax' then we needn't worry about our trade (or soon) our budget deficits.
