Raptor vs Eagle

and what are you (the USA) going to do with it? you already can have world
domination with the military arsenal you currently have. There is no logic
reason for even more military power.

Martin, If world domination was our objective, we could have probably accomplished that when the Soviet Union fell
apart. (We might still be able to do that). I know I will never convince you otherwise, but the typical U.S.
citizen is a decent human being who really does want world peace and wants to co-exist and work alongside other
peoples. There are occurrences where some countries or rulers try to dominate others, such as the recent invasion of
Kuwait by Iraq and a limited engagement is a viable option. We keep hearing that we are a "Superpower" and should be
the world's policeman. Many if not most of us would prefer that other countries handle their own problems
internally. No one that I know personally wants to have to resort to nuclear warfare. To answer your assertions, I
believe that there is very good logic to keep developing weapons for limited engagements. Standing still with
conventional weapon development will get us into a position where we have no other choice but the nuclear route.

To keep this discussion on topic and aviation related:

I know you get tired of having this thrown in your face but I also had a close relative who died in WWII trying to
preserve your countries way of life . After that war did we come in and try and dominate your country? You can read
about him he

*GOTT, DONALD J. (Air Mission)

I have a goal of visiting your country to learn more of it's rich history and people and to visit the area where my
cousin lost his life. Would you be available as a guide to the Hattonville area?
