Jay, that's not TeoTwawki. Those are just the ramblings of an old hammer who thinks the world looks very like a nail.

Of course he thinks a military solution with military intelligence is the way to run our wild and wacky world. He is obviously not so enamored with democracy as shown by his dismissal of it as some recent experiment. Everything is an experiment. A real-time, no going back, experiment. Life is not a rehearsal. It's happening now and we are in it. Every night is opening night and the script is never repeated although things might look similar sometimes.

The only permanence is the law of nature and even that changes more than people think. Relativity understanding changed nature's law, which was really just people's understanding of it. CDMA breached the laws of physics according to a Stanford physics professor, but QUALCOMM did that. Of course it really only breached human understanding of what's possible. Just as happens every day in many ways 6 billion people battle nature. One day, we'll run entropy will NOT always increase. Gravitons will spin backwards. Down will be up. Backwards will be forwards.

General Franks, as with all old generals, is fighting the last war. It's comfy back in the good old days before all the new-fangled stuff came along.

I saw him mistakenly refer to Iraq as Vietnam about a year ago. Giggle. I heard Bernie Schwartz, at the launch of Globalstar service at Telecom99 twice refer to satellites as aeroplanes [and he wasn't joking or making a metaphorical reference]. Wars to Franks are Vietnam again. Social systems run better with military precision in Tommy's book.

Tommy is not misunderestimating the genius which is George.
