   -> ...   
   ->    
   ->  -> 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?      
      
   Do you seriously expect me to describe Iran's military secrets?  I'd gladly   
   do that but I'm not privy to Iran's military planning.  The same can be   
   said about China and Mexico.  All I'm saying is this:  WE MUST STAY STRONG   
   MILITARILY   
      
   ->  ->  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. :)   
      
   I did my very best!   
       
   ->  -> 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?    
      
   Wow!  You're really up on military strategy!  Scare!  I'm glad you're on   
   *our* side and not on Iran's!  ... [sweating] ...   
      
   ->  -> 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?)   
      
   You can get a refund on your income tax -- but only if you paid too much in   
   the first place ...
