I'm not going to plat this TROLL's game, but you made an interesting comment, to wit:

"I would venture to say the only war in the history of the US not worth fighting was the Spanish-American War..."

Not many people are aware of this, but we are still paying today a Telephone Luxury Tax that was instituted in 1898 to help fund that war.

Over the years there's been many efforts to repeal it, but it always keeps getting 'renewed'. So here we are in 2005, still PAYING a tax to fund a war from 1898.

Yeah, I'd heard we were still paying some tax meant to pay for the Spanish- American War.
