"But military spending is not a way to resist decline; it is a sign of it...and a cause of it. Osama bin Laden understood how it worked. By 2000, he had already brought one great empire, the Soviet Union, to its knees, luring it to spend money it didn't have in a war it couldn't win. He thought he could do the same to the US. So far, it looks as though he was right."
