Look at the way the Louisiana Purchase and seward's purchase of Alaska were received by the public. *Especially* "Seward's Folly". Spending money to *directly* purchase land/territories is often seen as a waste. But if you take land as "reparations" after a war, that's just fine. doesn't make sense, but then we are dealing with gut responses from the public, not reasoned decisions. -- Leonard Erickson (aka shadow) shadow at shadowgard dot com
