Defense against who? Terrorists? Last time i checked they didnt use subs. So why spend millions of dollars on an improved sonar system for defense against an enemy that doesnt exist? Or is it that they might exist in the future (
got to watch out for china), so lets prepare now? Well I am sick of Governments continually playing on peoples fears, they have done it for 1000s of years and they will do it for another 1000 if we keep buying their BS. If Governments would spend 1/4 of what they spend on defense we wouldnt need to be afraid of
that other guy. How about spending some of that defense budget money on the root causes of hatred/terrorim; a lack of understanding/prejudice (education - wake up John Howard!), injustices (israel/palestine conflict), religious tension (education/tolerance), government corruption, poverty, starvation etc.
