...violation of international law and were fully planned and purposefully carried out. Protocol in a situation in which a country feels that its sovereignty is being violated by incoming aircraft is to escort the aircraft out of its territorial zone, or, upon refusal, to make it land.

Firing missiles from a distance and aerial bombardment usually result in fewer casualties for the attackers. But the minute you enter a city, a schoolchild 12 years old becomes a fighter.

For example, aerosols would be sprayed over enemy troops, or chemicals would be clandestinely introduced into their food supply. Then biosensors flying overhead, says Thomas Baines at Argonne National...

Army chaplains recently met to consider the moral implications of cyberwar--fearing, for example, that in lightning-quick electronic attacks, an enemy that wanted to surrender would never have the chance.

The contention that visitors can't enjoy the park because of the "noisy aerial onslaught" is without factual basis. DAN ANDERSON, President National Air Access Council Alexandria, Virginia...
