Try to pry the neato blow'em up stuff out of the hawks talons? I for one believe they'll have us resorting to cannibalism before they give up their precious "Superpower" status.

Star Wars? I seem to recall, some years ago, watching none other than Newt Gingrich admitting that "Star Wars" was a sham, designed to scare the Soviets into thinking we had capabilities that we did not. (At the time.)
He said, "That was the true genius behind it. It worked. It scared the tar out of them. And it only existed on paper." Anyone else remember that?
