Clinton certainly cut back on the military, that's true. But let me ask you this. Why is it necessary for the US to outspend every other nation on the earth combined? I'll tell you why. Because we feel the need to be the world's policeman and we fight wars for oil.

I know you are against the war in Iraq. But the cutting back of the military issue goes beyond that war. Lets assume your right and the war was a mistake. Its not like its the only war in our history. Even if Iraq was a mistake, we should have a large enough military to perform an operation like Iraq. I suppose you could assume that things will be peaceful. Maybe your right, and if so military cutbacks will save a lot of money. But what if your wrong?
