Funny, but most people today are no longer worried about going to war with another country but are about terrorist attacks.

I don't believe that if the World spends three-quarters of a trillion dollars per year on military expenses, most of that would be only to wage war against terrorism.

And some of the most expensive weapons (like, missiles with nuclear heads) are entirely innapropriate for this purpose.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
