We're not heading towards WWII type conditions so we don't need one. Right now the big powers are consolidating and not really plotting against each other with the exception of india/pakistan which is different.

Maybe, but I'm just too paranoid to let our guard down.

Paranoia is a bad thing.

After 9/11, a little paranoia when it comes to cutting the military is a good thing.
Half of the reason 9/11 even happened was because we intervened in Iraq and Afghanistan in the '80s-early '90s.

I wish we had stayed out of those countries, but we didn't, and we're stuck with our current position, which dictates a large military.

How exactly does it do that? We're not going to be attacked.

We need to dismantle our bases overseas and apologize to the Iraqis, Palestinians and Afghans for meddling in the region.

Like I said, I'm slightly paranoid.  We were attacked once; it may happen again.

We'll only keep being attacked if we keep dicking around in the region and supporting the zionist settler entity.

Do you have anything to add to the thread besides play-by-play commentary?

You know my position on our support of the "Zionist settler entity."

I'd applaud you, but I don't think there's a smiley for that.
