"STOCKHOLM, Sweden - For the first time since the Cold War, global military spending exceeded $1 trillion in 2004, nearly half of it by the United States, a prominent European think tank said Tuesday.

As military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and the war on terror continue, the world spent $1.035 trillion on defense costs during the year, corresponding to 2.6 percent of the planet's gross domestic product, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said."

and yet I will not receive any Social Security benefits whyen I retire. SS is in trouble and you wonder why. With all the money we are wasting playing world police we could make this country a truly wonderful place to live, learn and retire.

Fuck it...I've had a bad week....
