POPSIran tests missiles, heightening tension with West The White House told Iran to "refrain from further missile tests if they truly seek to gain the trust of the world."... ...means in plain english, "Don't antagonize us and by and large, we are the World!" "In anyway, we have all the rights in the world to test everything, including the missiles!" The arrogance of the US Govt. is the reason for more than half the anger and anguish of the world! {It does not mean that what Iran has done is correct!}

POPSThe RAND Corporation - A litany of horrors The RAND Corporation was the ur-think tank, the Cold War granddaddy of them all, and it's still with us. In the 1950s, nuclear war-gaming a conflagration for which the usual war games would have been ludicrous, it took the U.S. military into virtuality and science fiction long before there was an Internet to play with. (And it had a hand in creating the Internet, too!) In the 1960s, it helped several administrations plan and fight the Vietnam War, making antiseptic theory into an all-too-grim reality. And that's just the beginning of the work RAND did on a range of hot-button imperial issues.
