I always get a bit worried about pulling ourselves in and no longer being a world power. I realize the temptation, and it’s likely to happen anyway, but often the consequences are as nice as we may want (like World War 2 in the last century, or Japan developing nukes in this century).
I guess I just think differently than the Paul’s.
