Mikki,
Dead on...a two-party system keeps the "extreme" stances of either party in check...hence the moderate presidents that we have had since Reagan.
My view on the military (being slightly biased as I am a veteran myself):
If you want peace, prepare for war. That's the only way to keep the foreign "despots" (Saddam/Khadafi/binLaden) from taking more extreme actions against the United States.
My other favorite military quote: Peace through firepower.
