We need a smaller, agile strike capability more than a large standing army. We need to learn how to fight “small wars” as the conflicts at the turn of the century were called.

And for nukes, who’s going to throw one? We only need a couple times’ Earth’s destruction to make it pretty prohibitive to those that care about deterrence, and for the rest, well, keeping nukes only gives them opportunities for theft.

President Obama is President – he has brought hope (and not just on posters:-) and some change, although certainly not as much as many would have liked. Having been unemployed thanks to Bush’s economic errors (Greenspan, on his watch, “trusted” banks to police themselves – makes you think of wolves and hen houses, doesn’t it?), I’m glad something is being done. And its more than the Tea Partiers would do – they think the unemployed should go get a job – there aren’t any, and their plans to make jobs don’t either, they just let the situation play out slowly and painfully. We have more money concentrated in fewer hands in the US since the start of the Great Depression – that will continue to freeze our economy, reducing consumption and spending with small and mid-range business.

One rant deserves another – thanks for the post! – Bob
