As long as humanity doesn't put aggression aside, and as long as humanity doesn't settle scores through diplomacy fully, military expenditure will always remain perpetual.
A nation will need to grow its military might to be perceived as "powerful" and worthy to be noticed (eg. clout). Other nations will do the same "in the interest of national security" for fear that if they are left behind, they will be subject to "attack" or "invasion". And if they chose not to fight invaders, they will be subject to "peaceful annexation" much like what happened to Hawaii which got annexed to the U.S. simply because the Hawaiian monarchy chose not to fight, and the monarchy has no capability to fend off encroachers. However, one twist in the Hawaiian annexation was that it was also put into a vote. Being peaceful people, the Hawaiians chose the non-aggressive solution. End result, they became a minority in their own land, and Hawaii is now one of those states that has a very high cost of living in the U.S. On 11/5/07, Kristopher Julius Alcordo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Grabe ang military expendiutre bah... maypa ihatag nalang sa ako.. :D > > On 11/4/07, mungkey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Lisod ni. kada segunda naay agpanganak ug duna puy daghan gapangamatay. > > hehe. =) > > > > http://www.peterrussell.com/Odds/WorldClock.php > > > > The crisis facing humanity today is, at its root, a crisis of > > consciousness.
