At a small college where I once taught I attended a screening of Bowling for Columbine followed by a discussion. One student was struck by the statistic in the film regarding the extent to which US military spending dwarfs that of any other nation. His conclusion was fascinating, that the rest of the world truly does owe Americans a great debt of gratitude for shouldering the responsibility for keeping the peace at such evident expense to ourselves.
