Wow, 20% for defense for the world? Time to make France and Japan pony up...

This is what I said when this article was posted under the title Our Immigrants, Their Immigrants:

The Wall Street Journal is well known for its advocacy of open borders, the happenings is France come as a cold slap of reality. Someday, well within a century, France will be majority Muslim, what will all the folderol about government regulations and ethnic entrepreneurship mean then? And even if the Muslim New France becomes a economic powerhouse should the former natives celebrate because the land mass previously occupied by their now exterminated culture is doing well financially? The Wall Street Journal thinks so, they are bigger believers in Economic Man than any Marxist, and their brand of internationalism based on capitalism is more destructive than any form of communism.

No, the 17% was the percent of all govt. spending as a percent of GNP.
