Maybe under Bush. But under Obama...? Not likely. McCain might work with Bush's ideals, so I don't know.

Alright, everyone and their grandma knows that the "war on terrorism" is an economic war. And we all know Bush doesn't make sense. So, can we discuss a different military now?

300,000 active troops? For a country that small? I'm not smart in this stuff, but I think thats good as long as they arn't the agressor is anything.
