  [From Sam Smith's Progressive Review <www.prorev.com>. --CGE]

  After spending tens of billions of dollars, stretching its military

  readiness to the limits, two wars and a lengthy embargo that left a

  million dead, 

  i love sam smith and his analysis, but i believe he's at least 1/2 million short here.

  the United States has captured the former dictator of a

  country with a population roughly that of Texas, a size twice that of

  Idaho, military expenditures 0.36% those of the US, and a GDP roughly the

  size of the annual revenues of Sony and one-third those of Wal-Mart. The

  Washington Post devoted 16 pages to the incident.
