With the exception of the military industrial complex, we all want a more peaceful world.

If you drink too much, you go out and you harm to somebody, you have to suffer the consequences. Same way with health matters. You don't have the right to demand that someone else take care of you because of your habits.

The sad thing is, our foreign policy WILL change eventually, as Rome's did, when all budgetary and monetary tricks to fund it are exhausted.

Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.
