Below is a remarkable statement taken from an editorial in The Los Angeles
Times for Sunday July 20.
" . . . There is of course no need to restore the defense spending and
manpower levels of the Cold War. But the disappearance of a global enemy
like the Soviet Union hasn't left the world without local threats that
affect U.S. interests, whether those involve the security of oil resources
or the freedom of friends and allies."
-- Wat Tyler
