SEE HERE George Will's column should remind us that the world is not a safe place. The primary purposes of government are two, to defend the citizenry from enemies from without and within. The most successful strategy for the first of these missions is to have a military second to none. We forget that at our peril. We live in a world that is not safe and we have many enemies because we are affluent and our nation is rich. The world is not a zero sum game. We earned what we have, but there are those who envy us and would like to take us down. Make no mistake about that. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
