>>A strong military can promote hubris and war, as we see from the Bush crowd, NOT increased security.<< Malcolm, you're a grumpy old man. I don't particularly care for Bush, myself, but consider him to be much better than the alternatives. President Bush and his administration pose no threat to anyone except the ideological enemies of the US. Nevertheless, a whole panoply of woolly-headed apologists for dictators and head-hacking barbarians stand ready to demonize the man. As to the virtues of a strong military, I could recite the usual list of 20th Century US military achievements in the service of freedom and democracy, which include freeing half the globe from totalitarianism at least once, twice for many countries, but I already know that logic and rational argument are wasted on you. The latest development is President Putin's apparent willingness to stand up and be counted as an ally of the US - no mean feat for US military prowess and diplomacy, I would say, but doubtless lost on you.
