Here is cut paste from another discussion list that I am on ... National
Security Decision Making Game Simulation group.  These articles are great &
not what I have normally associated with Wired so I am going to have to take
another look at that publication.

Fascinating article in Wired about current US military & recent space wars.
I Gulf War won thanks to hastily deployed satelites to support US air power
II Yugoslav army did some decent spoofing, but their expected followup never
came
III started 9/11

The transformation of US military in recent history, and indications that the
transformation will continue.  Links at end of article indicate that there
may be some other articles here worth a review.

Second article is typical NSDMG trade off analysis of alternative budgeting,
but how about reading it in the light of what is going on in the Middle East
... which of these activities are doable by the new breed of terrorists?

Interesting article from Wired where Bruce Sterling suggests we may be in a
Pax Americana. Lots of thoughts on the future of warfare.

Another article from Wired with some suggested strategies for another
country to defeat the Pax Americana.
