  Ahhh Tom, our history has been littered with people who think the way you do and when such thoughts take root in government they end up costing a lot of young lives.
  
  I wonder how many fewer young men (and women) would have died in WW2 if Churchill's arguments to re-arm had been listened to a lot sooner. So often we make the same mistake, cut back on defence, appease a potential aggressor and then having it blow up in our face. We are cutting defence now and that is bad enough when we really should be strengthening our defences and you seem to advocate going further. Complete madness in a dangerous world.
  
  Keith - what do you hope I have got right? I wish I were wrong as a matter of fact. If I had a real solution that comment would make sense but I said I have not. Right now all we can do is fight the crazies and strengthen 'Ghan government and hope that when we withdraw we don't end up having to go back in again.
