America can be a superpower or a welfare state, but not both.

remember, in the end, how many troops did we need to get bin laden?

I was making that pacifist statement generally - didn't mean to come off that way

Nukes can't be dealt with troops, that is true - unless that country only has a few. But they can be dealt with submarines, planes, tanks, ships, missiles, and of course other nukes

And - I'm not so sure the whole Bin Laden thing wasn't made up. Politicians on both sides have faked military victories, put false dates on events that are being declassified, ect, just to win reelection. To me it doesn't matter. I'm only voting for 1 incumbent this next election, and thats at a local level.
