Too long doesn't mean too late Jeff, by too long I meant hitting them before they hit us, we have the luxury of being able to do this because any nation in the world who wants to challenge us hasn't got enough resources to do so thus they would have to spend years building armies and expanding their income to pay for it.

I find war to be an acceptable responce in many cases, not just in defence, I am happy that we got rid of Hussien even if we were lied to about the real motives in the first place, I would be fine about the allies going into Iran to stop that crazy fuck building nukes, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to be fighting there. I like look at going to war through the eyes of myself if I was in the army, the only war I would want to personally fight in was if my nation was under the threat of being invaded etc. I find it to be selfish to say we should go to war with him, her and them if you arn't prepared to go to where you think we should destroy and physically help the war effort.
