I dare say that there is a possibility, a strong one, that as the future rolls on and the economic crisis digs deeper that there are going to be a lot of people asking whether the expenditure is worth it. Maybe not on Guam because that's a good Asian counter, nor on the Falklands because of the oil reserves, but other places, that the US or UK or any other country in this debt problem owns that isn't right next door to their shores.
Something'll give, in the future, in regards to the finances, something has to.
