I am thinking about them. World wars have been fought 4-5 times in the last 300 years. There is always a winner. Should we wait for IRAQ/EGYBT/IRAN to go nukelear/ While this is true, it is equally true that there was always another world war to follow, each more dangerous than the last. Some folks are talking about a road that, if we go down it, even the most pedestrian of strategists can see that it could lead to a world war and the annihilation of mankind, or at least a great portion of mankind. The stakes are high. Your country is blessed with incredible riches and incredible power. Learning to use it with wisdom is a responsibility that the world depends upon.

Another factor is that, in past wars, the parties at war were more or less on equal terms and the threat to the remainder of the world was minimal. This is not the case now. The war can now be brought to your shores with relative ease, either by nation states with ICBM capability, or by lesser parties with suitcase nukes, biological weapons, well, you get the idea. Our technological advances gives potential enemies, far and wide, an advantage that was simply not present in previous conflicts: cheap access to powerful capabilities that would boggle the minds of our grandfathers.
