re: costic - bulldozer hit with heat-seeking missi
Yes great news for Caterpillar shareholders and for the military industrial complex suppliers. Caterpillar may come out with a "Rachel Corrie" memorial model.
It may enliven the Lebanese heatseeking missile industry also, though I'm not sure how to capitalise on that.
These endless regional conflicts where one side is vastly stronger militarily can never be settled. The only way to peace is for both sides to be equal enough to cause the other side to fear and respect them. In a skirmish, the strong side suffers politically, while the weak side suffers through disproportionate loss of life. It's good for peace and it's good for business for the scores to be evened up.
