I'm amazed at these guys. I've seen this over and over (think 'the cold war' if you will)
The Americans are convinced that someone will come out and attack them; in the open; with rockets!.
Maybe it's possible; I mean there are lots of religious fanatics or other things whose purpose in life might be to plant bombs in America. There's no arguing that!
But this sounds like preparing for a deliberate attack by some country (ok, maybe not 'country', but someone who has an air-force, equipped with rockets).
Sounds more like paranoia to me; and while it's known that in secret services and national defense a dose of paranoia is actually recommended, isn't this going too far? Wasn't this what the cold war was all about?
I mean they’re creating a force 'just in case'. And at some point the 'just in case' scenario will be forgotten (that is: if no attack happens), and only the force part of it will remain. And when someone has force, there is the temptation to use it.
In my opinion, this is just planting the seeds for a future war; for 'interventions' in parts of the world America has no business in, that are just killing people (maybe in the name of the freedom of the killed ones).
Speak about hypocrisy!
