Yeah, they're doing that all right... Arab nations are uniting behind
Saddam Hussein.
Armed robots might not deter their new alliance, with its
biological/chemical weapons of mass annihilation and terrorist subversion.
Anyway, after seeing the new US Army on 60 Minutes II, the infantry
equipped with wearable heads up computers, GPS, Windows 2000, wireless
networking, and all the attendant bells and whistles, droids are going to
have to be P60s (in the progression of P2, P3, P4, etc.) to be
competitive. It comes to the same thing you advocate... just a little more
meat in the equation.
