		Estimating how much needs to be spent on homeland security in order to effectively protect the United States from terrorist attacks is an extremely difficult task—far beyond the scope of this brief overview of the administration’s funding request for FY 2008.
		Given the enormous challenges related to homeland security that the United States faces, it is possible that substantially more funding may be needed than has been proposed by the administration.
		A strong case can be made that the United States should take steps to create a new strategic-strike triad, relying on its precision- and electronic-strike capabilities to form two of the three legs, with a smaller residual nuclear force comprising the third leg.

	B-2 Spirit - United States Nuclear Forces
		Following the naval precedent in which battleships, and subsequently whatever ship the Navy regarded as its capital ship [currently ballistic missile submarines, but it was nuclear powered cruisers for a while] were named after states, operational B-2 aircraft are named after states, with the annoying exception of Spirit of KITTY HAWK.
		States so honored are generally those with a close association [operational, political, or otherwise] with the program.
		This would seem to place an upper limit of 50 on the number of aircraft that can eventually be expected to be produced, though one imagines that additional states can be admitted to the Union if the need arises.
