The odd thing to me is that the Iraq thread isn't suitable. Iraq
is a pretty classic case of the kind of thing we worry about
vis-a-vis nanotech or advanced biotech. An entity with demonstrated
willingness to use such a thing destructively and which has
worked on it in the past may be developing such thing for future
use. Said entity is shielding itself with various legal and moral
tactics. What do you do? Yet the thread deteriorates into stereotyped
discussions of "US: good or bad".
PS You don't consider recent technological change "fast"?
