| The thought of 20,000 troops here to help incase of a nuclear and/or a terrorist attack is a comfort in someways but stirs my stomach a bit also at the thought of the actual danger of that. Sometimes I think we think we are safe from anything like that because we can watch Mumbai go up in flames in the comfort of our own homes on CNN or Fox News. I also read that the government released a report talking about us declining in the world power seat and becoming more of a middle power. Honestly, fine by me, but at the same time, I want us to be able to protect ourselves from the people out there who do wish to hurt us and our "western-culture" |
