[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] >"if the US wants to help so much then how come they establish so many military bases where they help?" The answer to that is SO simple, it only requires the use of a half-dozen brain cells! [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] Why isn't there one centralized police department in each city? Why do we have districts and precincts and beat cops? (Or if you like Star Trek, 'Why does the Federation build and maintain Starbases?') Because it's EASIER and FASTER to get to a trouble spot if you're already CLOSE, you numbskull! The US (and its allies) couldn't have set up "Desert Shield" so quickly if their nearest base had been in Florida, now, could they? Or if the Soviets had attacked West Germany back during the cold war, our having troops ready in New Jersey wouldn't have been nearly as effective as having them in Bonn. Think for a second before you criticize. Thinking is good. [/QB][/QUOTE]
