Can you elaborate DanS? It's my understanding that they only have a very moderate 'self defense force' and that they depend, and support ($) US forces. Mostly because of WW2, the people lack the political will to do what's needed. Am I wrong? I'd be glad to be...

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Yes -- we certainly don't hear about France bragging about starting the Prussian-Franco War in 1870, for instance.
