"Unfortunately, our enemies in the 21st century will be fighting us with modified versions of our own weaponry, "made in China.""
That is a frightening prospect. I've never really thought about the threat of China in that exact context, but it is all but inevitable. Hopefully we can stay ahead of them, or at least tied with them in the technological arms race of the next century. Some people think that we never needed a military again because the Berlin wall came down. I hope Bush makes some major progress advancing our military capabilities, so that China will have even more trouble catching up to us.
The only real budget cuts Clinton made during his 8 years were to the military. Other departments just got "growth reductions."
History will not be kind to that man.
