I think that this might not be too far from the truth in a small, cynical way. The Dassault Rafale has received no international buyers since its release - this is a showcase of its cool factor. The Eurofighter as well, even though that has been pretty popular.
Banquo - good article on Irish neutrality. You are starting to see the "neutrality" of nations like Sweden and Switzerland crumble. Hopefully you will join us, not only in action, but in name as well in the near future.

"That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
-Eric "George Orwell" Blair
"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
(Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
