Nor do I believe any country in the world can hang with us in a conventional war. We spend 5 times that of both Russia and China per year. It's funny how the US is leading the global war on terrorism but most of the world views the US as the terrorists.Its not funny at all. Really it is quite sad. The world just doesnt have the stomach to do what is nesessary in war anymore. Take ww2 for example. It was a fairly short war, cause we came in and killed as many people as possible, as soon as possible, Unfortunaly that what it takes to win war. We could have done the same in Iraq, and this whole mess would be long over. But report after report of civilian deaths, cause us to hold back big time. Hence the mess we are in now. I am honestly afraid of what is going to happen if we continue to piss off the world. I feel WW3 coming on and with the amount of nuclear weapons the world has, there is no doubt in my mind that it will be our demise. Only one enemy jet has to make it over one of our nuclear sites and were done by our own weapons. We need to start thinking about storing our nukes somewhere else.
It gets far more scary than that az. Our enemy isnt going to try to bomb us with a plane, or with long range missles. There going to (and most likely already are) going to build very small suit case size nukes, and smuggle possibly hundreds of them across the Mexican, or Canadian boarder. And if you doubt its possible, take a look at the amount of illegal drugs that cross our boarder every day. Or the million illegal immigrants that cross every year.

Its the same for Israel, Iran isnt going to launch a nuclear strike against them. They are going to build small nukes, hand them over to there local terrorists, and they will just walk them into Israel.
