If the death of bin Laden allows us to step back from the brink of
totalitarianism, then I'm just glad it's over.  Unfortunately, the death
of Hussein taught us that reconstruction can be just as expensive, in
both money and lives.

Can we stop being the world's police force?  Would doing so reduce the
fear and hopelessness that leads to terrorism?  Would doing so balance
the budget?
