But these are not: NATO has:<br />1. Cost American taxpayers more than $20 trillion;<br />2. Allowed the states of Europe to enervate their own militaries;<br />3. Caused the rise of hard-left a movement to expel the U.S. from Europe;<br />4. Engendered controversies over U.S. nuclear weaponry stationed on European soil;<br />5. Created the "dollar overhang" that caused Nixon to take the U.S. off the gold standard, thus permitting unrestricted inflation of the U.S. dollar.<br /><br />That doesn't sound like a good bargain to me.<br />Francis W.
