That is very undesirable. <we are edging toward a faith-energized blood letting of civilization proportions.> That will negatively affect CDMA sales. Also, it would be bad for an up and coming generation of people who will do great things. Allen Salmasi for example, nextwavetel.com is Iranian [though having lived in the USA for decades] and his Omninet merged with QUALCOMM enabled said CDMA to proliferate faster than fusion or fission.
Not only that, he was instrumental in getting Globalstar going, which, come to think of it, has funded my sojourn to Honolulu. Sure, Globalstar was a financial failure, but that just puts it in the category of philanthropic investing. No great harm done. If I had drunk $1000 bottles of wine instead, it wouldn't have led to the next generation Globalstar. Well, I shouldn't say no great harm done as there was enormous opportunity cost - millions of people have not been able to enjoy Globalstar service because of marketing mismanagement. Lives have been lost. My free cash flow was shredded.
Anyway, if to deal with Islamic Jihad, the USA/UK/France/Russia/China/Israel were to obliterate any concentration of Moslems, it would do a lot of damage to not only my CDMA sales, but also to the next generation of Allen Salmasi types.
If we could fry the bad eggs and leave the good ones, that would be different. Daisy Cutters in Tora Bora were not likely to hurt an infant Allen Salmasi. But delivering umpty peta tera fast neutrons from 10km into Tehran would definitely destroy some great prospects.
ElM is there to build good CDMA stuff to improve my cash flow. I do not want his good work interrupted. I don't think anybody is caring about me and my cash flow. King George II doesn't care. Islamic Jihad doesn't care. WHAT ABOUT ME YOU GUYS? I want a Lexus and one of those hot-stuff new Mustangs. mustang.cessna.com

PS: I was just thinking, [liking to solve problems], what if the USA was to hire 70 virgins and get them to attend the president of Iran? That way, he could have the virgins without having to do the martyrdom. The girls could get a LOT of cash. I could sell CDMA. El President would be more than happy. Nobody would need to be blown up. I'd be happy to throw in a free CDMA phone. I'm not above a spot of appeasement. Okay. 2 phones. But that's it. |
