MSI, Re: The hell of it is, we'd all be better of if we just paid, say $25 billion directly to the oil companies in the middle east, or maybe $5b to Bush Inc. It would cost less. You're scaring me with all this good sense. What if the American people caught on? Can you imagine the damage to the War Rackets Department budgets? Here's another choice morsel from Harper's: Ratio of the President's proposed increase in U.S. military spending to China's total military budget in 2000 : 1:1 Rank of China's military budget among the world's largest that year : 3 Source: The International Institute for Strategic Studies (London) harpers.org ******************************************************* In FY 2003 the U.S. will spend more on War than the next 20 most profligate nations combined!!** Including Russia, China, Israel, Great Britain, France, Turkey, Iraq, India, Pakistan and many others... Are we insane, or what?
