You can't build peace by preparing for war. From today's news: Diplomacy is the smartest form of military spending, yet the president is slashing soft-power budgets in order to pay for ego-boosting new hardware

I do agree that diplomacy is much better. But there have always been those who would take by force if they believed they could. History is rife with them.

There is a reason why since the Revolutionary war in the founding of our great nation there has not been an attack on our country from the conventional military force .
