The way out of war towards peace is through communication. How ironic that R & D for communication is stopped by warhead development. Anthony I am in the middle of some huge army bases here on Oahu and talking with returning GI's and civilians who have been there I can pretty safely say that we are there to build bases so we can go into other countries starting with Iran next. This is a total wrong direction. We need to be developing alternatives to oil as fast as possible not using our might to steal what's left of a diminishing resource.
