    -> to 'attack' you need more than just a few guys running around planting   
    FS> bombs.   
    -> (Nukes might change that, but in that case OUR strong military won't do   
    FS> the job   
    -> either.)   
      
    FS> If our military was sufficiently weakened, then there are a number of   
    FS> nations which would be far more ready to attack us with conventional   
    FS> weapons.   
      
   Tell me just how Iran would invade us?  China might, they do have a Navy that's   
   increasing every day.  Mexico might be able to march across the border but why   
   would they do that?      
      
    ->   
    ->  FS> Yeah, well I couldn't defeat both the Nazis and Japs *alone*.  Be   
    ->  FS> reasonable.   
    ->   
    -> Yeah, it took more than one man, even a great one. :)   
      
    FS> Yes ... [blushing modestly] ...   
      
   You gave it a shot. :)   
      
   ...   
       
    -> But again a country with limited military might - an army, but limited   
    FS> Navy and   
    -> Airpower, both needed to attack our shores.   
      
    FS> It seems, Bob, you have developed into quite the young military   
    FS> strategist!!   
      
   Ya gotta win, then occupy.  Invasion takes ships and planes, occupy means   
   moving troops to the shores.  How many LST's do you think Iran can crank out?    
      
   ...   
      
    -> But we are the gov't.  :)   
      
    FS> Nah!  We don't own it; we just pay for it ...   
      
   Good point, and not a good deal the way it's working out.  :)   
      
      
      
   (Can I get a refund?)
