Need Larger Military Or Smaller Goals?

President Bush yesterday called for a larger military. Gee George, why would anyone want to give you more resources for your failed policies?

No matter who is the next president, America doesn't need a larger military. It needs smaller goals on the world scene that can be attained by our good example in a non-violent way. Should war ever be necessary, the mechanism for consideration and response should lie with the eletorate. A simple majority-approved vote in a national referendum would satisfy. The executive and the legislative branches of governmaent are not trustworthy.
