I see your point and I agree. What is interesting, though, is the case of
Germany and South Korea who, in essence, used US presence as “free” defense
against Communism for about 50 years, so there is a precendent for this
type of presence. But, of course, the ideal would be for us to leave at
the soonest opportunity possible.

Ah, but in both cases, the U.S.S.R. was providing direct assistance on the
other side of the fence. When one of the two world super-powers is
supporting the opposing side of the conflict, there is no shame in asking
the other one to help you out (in fact, it was kinda expected, as it was
basically the only way the US and U.S.S.R. could fight with each other
without destroying everything, kinda like the Vorlons and Shadows of B5).

Nuts! I am a huge fan of ST:TNG, ST:DN9, and ST:V, but I never got into B5.
I guess I’ll never know what you are talking about;-)

“A Private Little War” from ST:TOS where the Klingons were arming one side,
and Kirk had to arm the otehr side to keep the fight ‘even’. Kinda like the
Vorlons and Shadows...

Nuts again. While I acknowledge ST:TOS as the mother of them all, and I watched
it a little as a kid, it is too cheesy for my taste now. Ever since the third
season of ST:TNG, however, they have all been gold. BUT, the jury is still out
on ST:E. I really want to like it, but I think I have become accustomed to
24th century amenities such as replicators and holodecks:-)

I didn't mind the lack of those functions, as the holodeck stories often tended to be a bit too farfetched (just how many times can Starfleet-owned holodecks run rampant and threaten to kill members of their respective crews before they figure (...)

| (...) You better hurry and make up your mind about ST:E since this is undoubtedly the last season - the only reason they are limping through it is to get to the magical 100 episodes for marketing the re-runs. -->Bruce<-- (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
