| "what we need in the world is more military and less social spending... what good are all the welfare programs if a terrorists kills you? "
are you being facetious? america spends some 500-600 billion on the military every year. more than the 13 runners up combined. we have 54% of the world's military power. if america can't do it with their military no one can.
the other point is that terrorists do not usually fight the military. they are not a standing army to be found. they are sneaker than the viet-cong. the military fights over soil. terrorists fight over beliefs and broken glass. it's apples and oranges. all the military spending in the world won't kill 'all' the terrorists. |
