It probably won't be decades before the U.S.A. wakes up from the stupidity that they have a allowed an extremist neo-con faction to pull.

Why do you feel the need to spend as much on military expenditure as the sum total of what next ten nations down the pecking order manage to spend? Ever get the feeling that you are being ripped off by your military-industrial complex? -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

The Joint Strike Fighter is being jointly developed by a consortium of ten countries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35_Lightning_II The US is going to be the major contributor to the $40 billion total cost, but the U.K is putting in more than $2 billion, Italy $1 billion and the Netherlands some $800 million. The rest are spread out between $175 million and $100 million. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen |
