Despite the successful operations against Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan, the emergence of asymmetric terrorist warfare - attacks such as September 11 where the enemy is unseen - has led the Pentagon to identify the need for a more sophisticated and deadly weapons system.

And not a moment too soon!

Of course, if we REALLY wanted to make a dent in terrorism, we could just buy up all the towel factories and sell plastique-impregnated towels with just enough power to blow off one head, and with trigger mechanisms we could set off by satellite.

Or, my personal favorite counter-terrorism method: flood Berkely, California , Indonesia, south Asia and the middle east with American flags and Uncle Sam effigees which explode when lit.
