Is the State God?

The commander of Northcom, General Ralph Eberhart, says that tradition and precedent should not get in the way of fighting terrorism. According to the Wall Street Journal, "In September 2002, he told a group of National Guardsmen that the military and the National Guard should 'change our radar scopes' to prevent terrorism. It is important to 'not just look out, but we're also going to have to look in,' he said, adding, 'we can't let culture and the way we've always done it stand in the way.'

The US military plans to test new "nonlethal" weapons in the Iraq theater, starting this year. Among the weapons is a megaphone, the size of a satellite dish, that can issue recorded warnings in Arabic. Then, if the insurgents fail to disperse, the device will stun them with 145 decibels of noise at 300 yards. That's well above the human pain threshold; the head of the firm that developed the weapon says that it will "produce the equivalent of an instant migraine" and will put people "on their knees." If the weapon is aimed at a cave that may hold Islamic guerrillas, there may not be any effect on non-combatants. However, the device is likely to be used in cities, where innocent people ­ including children, the infirm, and the aged ­ will be affected and unable to escape.
