"the vast majority of those empires you cite had imperialistic dimensions and that served as a key factor"
why yes, just like today, when we attempt to assimilate the middle east, just one, example...

"Money spent on a strong military is like money spent on insurance. It is "expensive" until something happens and you need it."
Good point, those pesky Japs might bomb Pearl Harbor again... I'm suspicious about the canadians, myself.

LEB -
Who are we defending ourselves from, again?
It's starting to look like "we" have taken that old saying:
"Offense is the best defense" quite literally.
Iraq didn't attack us. Neither will Iran. But we'll attack them.

Rockermike (what a surprise - you're from Berkeley) seems to think that us right wingers have given Al Gore a bad rap. When he said ...
"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."
Seems plain enough to me. Do I really think he meant he invented all the technology? Certainly not. But there is no question he was grandstanding, and trying to take credit for making the internet possible for millions of Americans.
By the way, has Kerry managed to collect on the million dollar challenge by T. Boone Pickens to prove the swift boat ads lied?
I didn't think so. He's probably been too busy helping OJ find the real killer.

I think it is offensive to use a reference like milf in this context.
Blow you?
Not while there are still dogs in the world.

ok Brick, you actually made me laugh. Good one there.
Still, you were touching on a nervy subject there, but I suppose you knew that..

...by reducing Federal spending on domestic programs and foreign aid.
Iraq?
Pay attn, we're already cutting domestic spending -have been for years, but the budget is 3,100,000,000,000 without the cost of the occupations...
Reconcile that!
Foreign aid style edit: (08) 20.27 billion - a more than 12 percent increase in foreign aid from 2007.

Hey Ksolem,
A few days ago we were debating the $500/$1000 Obama proposal you mentioned. As I really didn't know anything about it, I decided to shut up. Just got to looking for it on the Obama website now, but didn't see anything. Do you have a link?
Thanks,
Tomo
