"The activities characteristic of war may be split into two main categories: those that are merely preparation for war, and the war proper." - Karl von Clausewitz.

"It used to be said that armaments depend on policy. It is not always true, but I think that at this juncture it is true to say that policy depends, to a large extent, upon armaments. It is true to say that we have reached a position where the choice of policy is dictated by considerations of defense." - Winston Churchill, speech, House of Commons. May 2, 1935.

Not to sound pessimistic or anything like that, but, truthfully, how many corporations who make products, that Americans want to purchase in the first place, haven't already farmed out some aspect of their production to foreign countries? There was some fellow on a post recently who mentioned having bought a bike (not sure what kind). He was certain it was 'made in America', only to find out when he got the bike home that the handle bars were made in China! Even the supermarkets, if you look closely at the labeling, now seem to sell a great deal of products which at some point involved foreign involvement, whether it be the origin of the food itself, or the packaging, canning, etc. know what i mean?
