Need to defend yourself from a large aggressive neighbor? Ummm, give us 6-12 months. :-)

Large aggressive neighbors don't just get that way overnight. Generally they are ten+ years in the making. Diplomacy, spies, political boasting, and propaganda will long since identify threats. It is why 6 to 12 months would be more than enough time for Canada to prepare.

In the meantime we have this other lesson from history. A nation that operates militaries far larger and in excess of all other nations eventually gets a hard-on. And then wants to stick his dic everywhere it does not belong. The great threat to world security is the nation that sees enemies everywhere even where they don't exist - Iraq, Iran, and N Korea.

How big is our hard-on. We are now approaching (and probably exceeding once you add all the money not authorized) cold war military spending. Why? Where are all these threats - except where we make enemies by leaving our military where it was not wanted.

We now have a nation full of hard-ons. Oh. They are called war-mongers. People who want to save the world from itself. We call it being a world policeman. The world calls it vigilantism.
