...States. The document also presents the president’s willingness to attack without any international support. But without U.N. consent, a unilateral preemptive invasion of Iraq would shatter the cherished post-war-era value of states’ territorial sovereignty. And other countries, too, would be able to exploit the doctrine of preemptive invasion without consulting anyone. Russia is already exploiting the war on terrorism to bomb Georgian territory in the Caucuses...
...fence is the winner of a cash-prize competition last spring. Ten teams composed of GSD students and alumni submitted designs meant to ensure the safety of workers and the public, provide a sound barrier from construction for residents and students and exploit the vast artistic potential of a construction fence. A jury composed of GSD faculty members, construction representatives and a neighborhood representative chose Susie Sanchez, Kiernan Mathews, Michael Goorevich, G.

They hinder communication and hamper anything flying low, like helicopters, spy drones and warplanes assisting forces on the ground. In cities, mobility and maneuver--two tenets of U.S. ground-combat strategy--hit a dead...
...advances in computer technology, communications and weapons of mass destruction. We are entering a period in which a small number of people, operating without overt state sponsorship but using the enormous power of modern computers, biogenetic pathogens, air transport and even small nuclear weapons, will be able to exploit the tremendous vulnerabilities of contemporary open societies. Because the origin of these attacks can be effectively disguised, fundamental tenets of the nation-state will change...
