Need Larger Military Or Smaller Goals?
President Bush yesterday called for a larger military. Gee George, why would anyone want to give you more resources for your failed policies?
No matter who is the next president, America doesn't need a larger military. It needs smaller goals on the world scene that can be attained by our good example in a non-violent way. Should war ever be necessary, the mechanism for consideration and response should lie with the eletorate. A simple majority-approved vote in a national referendum would satisfy. The executive and the legislative branches of governmaent are not trustworthy.

Unfortunately executive decisions left to the public result in stasis. Had the decision making process been out of the hands of FDR World War II would have been won by the Japanese.
