"The American political system was, as the saying goes, “designed by geniuses so it could be run by idiots.” But a cocktail of political and technological trends have converged in the last decade that are making it possible for the idiots of all political stripes to overwhelm and paralyze the genius of our system."

"While his tongue was slightly in cheek, Gupta and many other Indian business people I spoke to this week were trying to make a point that sometimes non-Americans can make best: “Dear America, please remember how you got to be the wealthiest country in history. It wasn’t through protectionism, or state-owned banks or fearing free trade. No, the formula was very simple: build this really flexible, really open economy, tolerate creative destruction so dead capital is quickly redeployed to better ideas and companies, pour into it the most diverse, smart and energetic immigrants from every corner of the world and then stir and repeat, stir and repeat, stir and repeat, stir and repeat.”"

Boeing, unions should listen to Richard Branson
Boeing, unions should listen to Richard Branson:
"As reported by the Seattle P-I's Dan Richman, Branson was at Boeing Field for delivery of a 777-300ER for an airline he's starting up, V Australia. That airline will begin Sydney-Los Angeles service later this month.
But Branson said the airline would have begun the service in late December, had it not been for the 57-day strike by Boeing Machinists that delayed deliveries.
'The strike hurt hundreds of thousands of our passengers,' Branson said.
'It messed up Virgin Atlantic, it messed up Virgin Blue in Australia, it ruined people's Christmas holidays. It was absolutely and utterly ghastly.'
Then came the stark warning: 'If union leaders and management can't get their act together to avoid strikes, we're not going to come back here again. We're already thinking, 'Would we ever risk putting another order with Boeing?' It's that serious.'
Branson's reputation for nonpinstriped behavior and speech notwithstanding, Boeing may have been taken a bit aback at the remarks, figuring that most of the attention would go to Branson's flair for showmanship (he was accompanied by a retinue of bikini-clad flight attendants, a style of dress rarely seen at most corporate functions in this country).

Obama should spare and build the F-22 Raptor - UPI.com
Obama should spare and build the F-22 Raptor - UPI.com
For instance, if all of the weapons cuts proposed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had been implemented, every major production line for military aircraft but one would have closed. And as economist Guy DuBois of Raytheon pointed out in a Dec. 8 speech, export restrictions on technologies used in military satellites have caused a steady erosion in the competitiveness of the U.S. space industry. There needs to be a better framework for reconciling economic and security policies.
The logical place to start in crafting a more sensible approach is to agree that the government should not be buying weapons just to stimulate the economy. Weapons programs always should be justified mainly on their operational and fiscal merits, meaning they must satisfy valid military requirements in a cost-effective manner.
The F-22 meets that standard, because it will guarantee global air dominance for the next 30 years -- arguably the single most important requirement for winning future wars.
F-22 provides credible deterrent for U.S. - UPI.com
F-22 provides credible deterrent for U.S. - UPI.com
90 percent of the U.S. military budget during the Cold War was spent on non-nuclear forces, to provide a credible deterrent posture across the full spectrum of potential threats.
The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor fighter fits comfortably into this framework. Because it is more survivable, agile and versatile than other fighters, it can achieve air dominance even in places where adversaries have a big numerical advantage. Once air dominance is established, enemies are left naked to the other instruments of U.S. military power without being able to attack our own forces.
The F-22 is also equipped to conduct an array of secondary missions such as missile defense, reconnaissance and network attack, enabling the precise tailoring of effects that contributes to effective deterrence. But what really makes it a powerful deterrent -- unlike nuclear weapons, in most cases -- is that enemies know the U.S. government will not hesitate to use it. That has to influence how potential aggressors weigh their options.

Land of Gandhi Asserts Itself as Global Military Power - NYTimes.com
Land of Gandhi Asserts Itself as Global Military Power - NYTimes.com
In a speech in India’s Parliament this summer, a rising political star spoke of a change in civilian thinking that helps explain the change in military strategy.
“What is important,” said Rahul Gandhi, the heir to the family dynasty that controls the governing Congress Party, “is that we stop worrying about how the world will impact us, we stop being scared about how the world will impact us, and we step out and worry about how we will impact the world.”Saturday, January 03, 2009
