I agree xxI dunno how you could possibly argue that it was not a conspiracy........ bunch of angry dudes plot to and then go out and crash some planes into a few buildings........... sounds like a conspiracy to me........

To be specific, they spent the 3rd most in 2010. Russia still probably has more total equipment and nuclear weapons of course.

Even though I imagine the only reason the French are rushing in is so that they can hide evidence of all the crazy crap they have been selling to Gaddafi over the years.
Did John and his friends form a group saying that having children is important, but also that getting raped was the only way for it to happen? Did they say we were "lucky" to have a past rape?

No I don't forsee that and you point is well taken. My point was that what assets and successes we have and could potentially bring to bear will be just fine for the foreseeable future with our current military status quo. Right now the US doesn't need to focus on a strong military nearly as much as we need to focus on a strong economy.
No I don't, and again you are right, industrial espionage, sabotage, geopolitical positioning etc is serious business. But I don't think simply signing checks to the military solves that problem. That and for every dollar lost to these problems I'm sure another is lost to in-house asset stripping, a problem much more easily solved with immediate nonagressive action.
No objection to the US as a lynchpin. The dollar is the primary engine of world trade and for better or worse its destruction means the most gruesome world depression in history is likely inevitable.
As to world savagery, to my knowledge no one has been more savage and supported more savages than the United States in the last several decades. One might make a good case for the world being a more peaceful place if the US brought its troops home and told the CIA to stop running around fomenting civil unrest, destabilizing countries and supporting tin pot dictators.
1) Terrorism.
I agree although it's really hard to tell what's true and what's not. The Chinese are penetrating deep into foreign networks. Some of the stuff that comes out about how much data they're getting their hands on and what kind of control they can exert on traffic flow is pretty scary. On the other hand it's hard to know how much they and others really do and how much is fearmongering and outright lies by supposed aggrieved parties.2) Cyberwarfare. We're rapidly expanding our technology to incorporate networking, but we have negligible cybersecurity measures that will require a paradigm shift to overcome.
Aliens did it, I mean George Bush counts as an alien right?
