If Congress cranks up the Pentagon's budget as much as George W. Bush would like, the United States will soon be spending more on defense than all the other countries of the world combined. That is just one measure of America's armed might - and of a global imbalance of power the likes of which has probably not been seen since the height of the Roman empire.
