Bob Dylan on Defense, through the past darkly

Dylan sang, "You have to pay to get out of going through all these things TWICE!"

Of course Bush 43 isn't the history buff we would have hoped for in a president, but
it should be obvious to everyone that one of the main reasons for the fall of the roman empire
was that it spread its armed and governmental forces to thin. And the U.S.S.R. collapsed partly
from over-spending to try to match us on defense. Just once could we not pay TO go through
this stuff twice?
