I would tend to agree with the thoughts of Robin. My thoughts on the matter is
preemptive strike on the middle east was highly unintelligent. These people will
NEVER forget. Our president bush created a living nightmare for future
generations. Instead of spending what will soon approach ONE TRILLION dollars on
this war my country should have spent such money on leading edge defense. Gee,
how many scientists could you hire for one trillion dollars, lol. Here's a
thought, what if our country would have never stuck our unintelligent aggressive
nose in other countries business from the start.
One great cost effective method is a challenge. Look who won the DARPA $2
million government challenge and what they achieved:

It's amazing what they achieved.
Another great challenge was the X prize:

Anyhow, people baffle me! Perhaps politicians don't understand the law of cause
and effect. Someone owes the poor younger generations the apology of a lifetime!
