"The most persistent sound which reverberates through man's history is the beating of war drums."
i guess we always need something to fear? quite the long list for us as a country:
redcoats, frenchies, slaves, injuns, iraqiis, persians, pirates, mexicans, catholics, jews, chinamen, japs, anarchists, italians, socialists, communists, faggots, fascists, atheists, cubans, chicanos, russians and now rotund ko-reans who we outnuke a thousand times over, yet no doubt can still be reasonalbly construed to pose so mortal a threat we must accelerate our preparations for Total War immediately!
i'm sure i'm missing somebody in there though...
