"Indeed, many of the adversaries the United States faces today will not yield to weapons. Neither nuclear arsenals nor oceans can shield us from viruses and pollution. The latest generation of fighter planes cannot defend us against global warming, nor can our aircraft carriers prevent loss of biodiversity. Submarines cannot attack soil depletion or dwindling water resources that threaten food supplies. And even throngs of U.S. troops cannot prevent mass migrations of people fleeing natural and human-induced disasters and civil strife." - J. Brian Atwood, "World's Stability Requires U.S. Aid"
Damn straight.
Damn straight.
