That's the operative question.

I'm not an expert on anything -- except maybe TV Production -- but I think there has to be some kind of ballance between being the world's policeman and isolationism. I don't know how either of those can work for a "Superpower." I also have no clue as to how to find that mid-point.

There must be a middle ground, but in that area there has to be flexibility to meet an unexpected crisis -- which is why I don't think there is really a way to totally "budget" our assets.

As a former boss used to say, "You can't build a church for Easter Sunday." On the other hand, you can't be completely without some kind of cushion.
