The same company brought us the microprocessor, and the PC. No, it all started with Adam and Eve! Be realistic, it doesn't matter where the funds were coming from. If it hadn't been the military, it would have been the NASA, universities or something. -- Thanks, Frank. (remove 'q' and '.invalid' when replying by email)

Neither do I. Western lifestyle is contrary to many tenets of established religions, Islam in particular but not exclusively. The clerics see their raison d'tre threatened, and they are not wrong. So they fire up their militants - 'jihad' is not just a label, they really mean 'holy war'. Christianity largely went through a similar phase around 500 years ago, waging war not only against people of other faiths but, in many cases with even more spilling of blood, among the factions and about the merest slivers of difference of interpretation. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.

When they were allowed to, by SH. The crisis was precipitated by the UN inspectors' withdrawal on the grounds that they were denied access to so many sites that they could not work effectively. It seems a reasonable conclusion that SH banned them from sites because there were things there that he didn't want them to see. Maybe those things existed only in his imagination; maybe he was being told exactly what he wanted to hear, by terrified scientists who knew very well the price of failure. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
