The emphasis on urban targets disturbs me. I know the conventional wisdom about future wars being fought in the cities instead of the plains, but bear in mind that any weapon useful against a Taliban yurt is probably just as devastating when directed against an American townhouse.

Are we funding our own destruction?

Just a thought.

I's sure the same was said of gunpowder. I know it was an argument against the A-Bomb. If we don't stay out front then it will end up being used against American cities. Peacnicks be damned!!! The'll get us all enslaved or killed.

You ask: Are we funding our own destruction?

Have we ever had any doubt?

Alas, I don't really know much of a way out of such catch 22's. . . other than doing all we can that will last eternaly . . .for The Prince of Peace . . . until He returns and/or takes us out for a time.
