"The reality - even before the latest proposed increases in military spending - is that America could beat the rest of the world at war with one hand tied behind its back. The requirement that US armed forces be able to fight two fully fledged wars with two separate adversaries simultaneously may recently have been dropped, but only because it would be hard pushed to find two such equal foes to fight."

Imagine that Iraq, North Korea, and Communist China all watch CNN. Imagine also that our "one war" military becomes bogged down in Afghanistan and/or Bosnia and/or somewhere else.

"Hmm. Kuwait looks especially tasty," thinks Hussein.

"Hmm. Taiwan looks very attractive," say the Chicoms.

"Wow. South Korea looks really ripe," say the N. Koreans.

No conspiracy is necessary. All they gotta do is watch the news.

So...what if all of those 'hot spots' decided to go off all at once?

"Who is the enemy America's arming itself so against and why" Don't forget the rebirth of communism in our southern hemisphere. Castro is getting massive armaments from the Chinese, China controls the Panama Canal and has a huge naval base in the Bahamas,Venezuela's Chavez is a young Castro,Brazil's communist party is in the lead for the 2002 elections, and Columbia is losing ground to leftist guerillas. Add to that the invasion of our southern borders by democrat voting mexicans which will mean massive reductions in military spending by 2008. Oh yeah, the middle east may be cause a slight problem now and then. Maybe.

"what if"

We would institute the draft, go to a wartime footing, divert 20% of our GNP to the War, and finish off half of the planet within 36 months.

2 billion bad guys die. Peace would reign for 200 years. Americans colonize much of the globe.

Just a thought.
