So much for America being the all brains and brawn

Hey,

I read in the news today that the all powerful Americans have called up 1700 of our Brits to come and help out.

Not really

They only did that to appease the Brits, and to keep up the illusion that it is actually an international coalition in Afghanistan.

PS: Maybe I shouldn't post something like this on an AI board :).

tangents

Nice tangent we've drifted onto...

I believe the "main" objective of the article was to show the technology applications made available, or taken advantage of, by war. It seems that often technology needs a dramatic carrier or catalyst to be accepted by society in general. The problem is that ubiquitous technology is dangerous for one who may disagree with big brother. The more invasive and powerful government is, the more intolerant it becomes.

Oh... As far as Brits go; I love 'em so much, I married one. She's the sweetest thing this side of heaven.

Brits

Yeah, I love the Brits too. I did an internship in London for 6 months when I was in University. Most fun I've ever had.

nationalities

I don't think one should talk of a nation as a whole. There are some bright people and some dumb people in every nation.

>> The more invasive and powerful government is, the more intolerant it becomes.

absolutely right, and this also true for media groups. *sigh*
