Brian Atkins Observed:
<<At this point the various governments and corporations still haven't
figured out how to perfect a multilayered defense against 40 year old
offensive weapons (jet passenger planes), what makes you sure they will
suddenly move ahead of the curve when it comes to the more dangerous
technologies of the near future? >>
Please consider reading this very short article, on the Sec of Defense's
views on what the US may be up against in the comming years.

<<THE MEMO, delivered last month, reflects heightened concern by Rumsfeld and
senior aides about the ready availability around the world of cruise missile
technology and the continued vulnerability of U.S. troops and population
centers to attack by the low-flying, hard-to-detect weapons, according to
officials familiar with the memo.
The Bush administration has made development of anti-missile systems a
top priority. But its focus has been on defending against ballistic missiles,
which arc through the sky after launch and tend to be bigger, more costly and
longer range than cruise missiles, which are self-propelled, lower-flying and
more transportable, therefore posing a different set of defensive challenges.

Its better to look into the abyss now, in these posts, then look into the
real abyss, after a major American city falls like the Twin Trade Towers did.
Then, after the first few days of shock by the American peole will come a
demand for vengence, that will make me seem the voice of pacifism.
