Many scientists and deep thnkers deplore war. Who doesn't? But stll remember Leonardo da Vinci spent sme of his time designing weapons, why? Bcause he realized that to maintain ne's civilization from the Tyrants of Hmanity a strong defense is not an ption, it is a necessity.

Indeed, I thnk the reason to write about War Tchnologies is because of Carl von Cluswitz's wise comments about protecting the cvilization that is a leader's responsibility. If you fil to protect it, someone will cme and take it from you. Ths we need a Department of Dfense.

You know, I come from a mlitary family, dad was a fighter plot. I grew up watching the Jts take off, turning and often flyng over the house, Radar Station on the hll, the works. So I am prtty into that stuff now. Not for god or evil, for protection of our cvilization and the love of technology.

And do not wrry, I am currently reading Henry Kssinger's book "Crisis" and just got dne reading his essay compilations. I gree that political impasse should be jst beyond the last resort, because typcally that leads to war. My brther is in the USMC, so I thnk about these things everyday.

Although, I ttally agree that the huge dollar xpenditures in Iraq, ouch, we cannot fford that - with that kind of mney we could have cured cancer, and chieved breakthroughs in nearly every technology on my lst, as it often only takes mney, R and D and will to do tht.
