Once again, Thames, leaves and trees, trees and forests. You seem to have a remarkably short sighted view of world politics. "They aren't a threat to anybody today, so why worry?" As to the size of America's military, eat your heart out. <G> After WWII, America was the only nation able to stand up to the Soviets. We can't help it that we're bigger, stronger, smarter, and richer than other countries. You seem to think that we should just withdraw behind our boarders and let you do the same. Or, perhaps, that we should maintain our military, but let YOU run it while we pay for it? As the world superpower, that isn't likely. You are an excellent debater, Thames, and have a remarkable list of facts at the tip of your tongue. Too bad you keep reaching the wrong conclusions. <G>
