"Indeed one can easily come to the conclusion that the USSR will not be the last modern state to be bankrupted by its military costs"

Earlie, I felt this was the true purpose behind the WTC attacks. They know that we have no patience and no political discipline, and so such an attack would server to accelerate the destruction of our economy and hence the engine behind the war machine. They planned that attack over a 8 or 10 year period, clearly showing the will to set things in motion cheaply and wait, not unlike deflecting a massive asteroid from earth impact by nudging it a few years before it's closest approach.
