From the Paper:

"Presently, American military expenditure enhances that of the next twenty countries altogether. Its navy, air force and space power are still considered unsurpassed. While the military expenditure by US associates is eliminated, the United States has the military expenditure to the tune of about twice as much on defense as the rest of the world altogether. The American troops have been deployed in 75 nations; each organ of the armed services has its own air force, and in the coming year we are capable of becoming aware whether the US can pull off what it has been preparing to do since the end of the cold war: struggle for two regional wars at the same moment. During the post 9/11 period most of the Americans are quite anxious to spend more on military activity than the next 15 nations collectively. They have enough faith in the pledge of our leaders that we are secured only when we could overcome our enemies and eliminate them adequately. Moreover, the American technology is quite alluring. It is prominent by every measure: military economic, technological, diplomatic, and cultural even linguistic with numerous countries trying to fend off the unalterable transition of Internet fueled MTV English."
