MORE TROOPS OR LESS EMPIRE - PATRICK J. BUCHANAN (AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE, NOVEMBER 6): We have more than enough soldiers to defend the United States and our vital interests and allies. If we will pull up the old trip wires we put down in the Cold War and bring home the troops manning those trip wires, we will also find that, suddenly, we have fewer quarrels and fewer enemies than the administration has managed to make for us.
