Pretty interesting stuff. The June 2008 book by Naomi Klein, makes some compelling views on how it all "ties together". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Klein I'm a big fan of systems science... http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977449452 <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iSP37XQd0Zs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iSP37XQd0Zs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> There are several parts to this interview 01 - 06. Interesting how George W. Bush's father talked of a peace dividend with economic benefits to ending the Cold War. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_dividend
This is interesting Gringho. To exploit chaos, fear. It is the same questions of comecon vs marshall plan. I will definately buy this book for Naomi's insight.
