The End Of The War
We've been commemorating sixtieth anniversaries of World War II for a few years now, starting back in September 1999, with the anniversary of the invasion of Poland. I'm watching President Bush give a speech right now in Coronado, almost six decades after the formal surrender of the Japanese government to the Allies in Tokyo harbor (the anniversary will actually be on Friday, September 2nd).

...when the speech was over did any of the Democrat talking heads call for ALL our troops to be brought home from Japan? Or Germany?
60 years of occupation seems like a great deal of wasted money.

Today? No.
But back in the 1970s and 1980s, you did. From Democrats.
Who felt that the Soviet Union wasn't really much of a threat, and that it was our bases as much as Soviet intentions that kept Europe divided.
So, there have always been those around who felt that our mere presence overseas is the problem.
