| Thanks TO.....wasn't too sure and too lazy to lazy look it up myself....  Here's another question to stir things up a bit.....Does NATO have the same importance today as it had when the Warsaw Pact existed?

| Same importance? Ask Russia. They view NATO as a serious threat. While at the same time WARSAW PACT has crumbled. Look at Afghanistan. That is a "NATO" force over there. Who would have thunk that in the '80s. And then look at France and her embrace of NATO and other countries investing in materiel for regional conflicts outside of Europe. NATO is a different animal these days.

| At any moment, any country cannot afford to war with any country. War is just another step in tough politics. Don't believe me? Look at history.

| Well since most of Eastern Europe is part of NATO its a very serious pain in the ass for Russia, especially with U.S. bases so close to them.I believe we have one or 2 bases here, I know for sure they where but I'm not sure if they still are...

| They are not doing this because of Kosovo. They have been doing this again for about the last 4 to 6 months now.
