disagree: "The US is in two wars now. I don't think we can handle a third."

u know who, if my grandparents were still alive I would ask them what it looks like when the US is actually at war. This is what it looks like in case the US is at war: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_183-Z0309-310,_Zerstörtes_Dresden.jpg

Look at the picture and ask yourself: Is the US is engaged in some sort of military operations or are you actually at war ? Should the US start fighting for real, borders are no longer of any interest, not for the airforce, then there would be no longer a point counting to three. Are Iran's nuclear efforts already working as a deterrent on people's estimation as to what the us military can or cannot do ? If you have the time visit Landstuhl/Germany which hosts the biggest US military hospital. Go into a pub and ask these soldiers wether or not they can be threatened by some terrorists. Don't forget to pay them a beer while they are laughing.
