unclewest, I'm curious as to your opinion on the fact that the 5% of the world's population that lives in the United States spend the same amount on their military as the entire other 95% of the world's population. (In 2005, we're on track to spend around $600 billion, counting Iraq) Since all we citizens pay for it, and not just in taxes, but in not having things like universal health care, do YOU think it's justified? globalsecurity.org truthandpolitics.org Compared to most other countries, we are much less at risk, with Canada and Mexico as land neighbors and vast oceans seperating us from everyone else. We might be attacked, but it's VERY unlikely we'll be invaded. Why do you think we're so paranoid?
