I heard a local radio guy go nuts this afternoon saying "God forbid we go to war with the Europeans anytime in the next fifty years; we'd be screwed!"
Yeah, right. Like EADS or Airbus wants to lose this customer any more than the USAF would want to lose the parts. These trade agreements make war less likely, not more likely.

If an unfriendly power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.

For some reason I just had a flashback to the electricals in my 1960 vintage VW and British cars.
