Well, Pete wanted to know what the US exported, if anything, so I told him. I believe that the US should have a strong military, and even nuclear weapon that would act as deterrent to war by assuring mutual destruction of all the parties who ever used them, but I also believe that the world is way over built military, so there is lots of room to reduce weapons and military forces proportionally around the world that would leave the USA no worse off than she is today.
Currently the USA spends almost as much on its military as all the rest of the world combined. Do you think that much emphasis on a military is necessary? What's up with that? Is the US planning on some kind of future that involves perpetual preemptive wars forever? How much military and national defense is enough? http://www.truthandpolitics.org/military-US-world.php Regards, LelandJ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Leland wrote: > > >> To me the world has become far too dangerous with WMD everwhere and >> tension between nations too great. >> > > Which is reason enough for us to have the best in weapons... otherwise we are > at the mercy of anyone crazier than we are.
