Not overkill at all - it just means that the rest of the Western World,
that spends a wholly inadequate amount on defense, will be calling on us to
the dirty work around the world. When killing starts in Kosovo, they
call the Americans. When killing starts in Korea, they call the
Americans. When killing starts in Iraq and Kuwait, they call the
Americans. When they start killing in Afghanistan, they call the Americans.
Since nobdoy else is capable of confronting evil wherever it occurs in the
world, the Americans need to be prepared to answer the call of duty.
