Re: Where are the heros? and the true meaning of NEW-KEW-LAR
Yes! I've noticed that too! He certainly clarified the reasons for going to war. Certainly a few days ago, news articles were spewing "But Saddam >MIGHT< attack first." - The intention with all of this, and last night ultimatums is to get him to move 1st, that way Shrub Jr can say "He hit me first mommy! I'm justified in beating him up." And another thought occurs. There's a good reason he keep saying NEW-KEW-LAR weapons instead of nuclear. It's not just that he's a moron, it's rather that you can claim that someone has NEW-KEW-LAR weapons all you want when they don't actually have NUCLEAR weapons and not tell a lie. This way he can always pull a Clinton with the definition of "is" and say "I never said Saddam has nuclear weapons." Just what this economy needed... to blow away another several trillion dollars to fulfil the Shrub family vandettas. I wonder if North Korea has some unknown to the public huge oil reserve too somewhere... --Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--- + ^ + :NSA got $20Bil/year |Passwords are like underwear.

Re: Where are the heros?
As long as hardware is not acting fully autonomously it is usually sufficient to address the soft targets, especially unprotected noncombatants at home. Self-replicating weapons are best, which for now means engineered pathogens. Things are bound to become pretty dynamic once we'll get free-environment capable artificial molecular self-replicators fielded against people and supporting ecologies. It is difficult to see humanity confined to this planet surviving it, given our neolithical firmware. Anyone aware of a nonnegligible military R&D in offensive/defensive ecovorous nano?

What the world really needs now is a fifty dollar weapon that sinks aircraft carriers. It's called a "radio" Needs some auxiliary equipment :-) but loose lips sink ships. Mines are pretty cheap, too, if you can attach them, but it probably needs quite a few of them to sink that big a ship. I agree that a low-cost aircraft-carrier-killer would help; the Stinger missiles sure made a major difference to Russian military activities in Afghanistan.
Re: Where are the heros?
I liked someone's comment that Shrub warned the Iraqi's not to destroy oil wells BEFORE warning them not to uses weapons of mass destruction. Must keep our priorities straight now, shouldn't we. -- Neil Johnson http://www.njohnsn.com PGP key available on request.
