In lieu of finding part II I would like to pose an alternative war strategy. This thread was started before the component of biowar was thrown into the mix. At this time the US needs surprise and economy of warfare similar to that of its enemy.
Non violent means to wage a lethal war. It sounds like fiction but is more profound than you might first think. I have asked established pacifists if an ultimate weapon should be used and they say no. However when I give shape to this weapon, some have changed their mind.
For example: HAARP is a technology that heats the ionosphere and as a result can change atmospheric conditions by adding energy to weather systems. There are hundreds of links to this technology but none better than its patent statement. If we were to heat the atmosphere near Afghanistan, drawing moisture from the Arabian Sea and create snow storms 80+ feet deep upon the mountains we would bury bin laden all winter long and end the drought that Allah has seen fit to bestow upon Afghanistan.
The beauty here is that the US would not be realistically blamed for the weather but rather the natives would see it as a disapproving sign from God.
'If' it could work it would be radiation free but is not a precise "tactical" precipitation (mistakes could happen). An act of God - type weapon will still produce plenty of collateral damage stranding innocent and guilty alike. One could expect damage from eventual spring floods.
The weapon of water is fearsome and has been used in war for 1,000's of years by diverting rivers and destroying wells.
Bio war is considered a weapon of Allah as is Pakistan's atomic bomb commonly referred to as Allah's bomb. For the US to use God like weapons could be considered a symmetric response - whether or not small pox erupts in the US.
Please don't think me dark for mentioning that authorites estimate 10's of millions of US bio war deaths once contagious agents are employed. We need a response that is both devestating and more humanitarian than nuclear weapons.
