Abstract
Economic
nationalists distinguish between victors and losers in war. War can be
profitable to the successful participant since the resulting territorial
expansion provides new markets, resources, and commercial supremacy, all of
which enhance the nation’s industrial production possibilities. Nationalists
view the world as being divided into competing national entities. The Aum
Shinrikyo cult of Japan launched a series of nerve gas attacks using the gas
sarin that they developed themselves. In 1996, 17 scientists from Los Alamos
assembled a dozen homemade nuclear bombs using technology available on the
shelves of Radio Shack and nuclear
fuel available on the black
market. Accidents, misunderstandings, and oversights are a normal part of human
life. To believe that we can somehow master and control technology especially
lethal technology is nothing more than arrogance. The defense establishment
focuses on what new technologies can do when often we should consider what they
can not do and rethink if the technology is meaningful.
