sorry,
QUOTE powerful militaries sitting at home with nothing to do are awfully prone to overthrow thier ruler, expecially when the cash runs dry.

oh but they are nessicary. why else do powerful countries like to send 'peacekeeping' missions? their military has to do something, or else there is dissent, and armed dissent is something every country doesn't want. |
