Just started reading George Orwell's 1984 and the vision i got of the future wasn't really a pleasant one. A bomb as we all know is quite easy to make, take some fertilizer, some acid and you can do a lot of damage to the world. Information and communication is easy to hide and transmit. Our common day terrorist varies from a poor chap dying on the road off hunger, a guerilla in the jungle, a rich sheikh in hiding or a well learned chap in one of the top colleges of the world, he may be black, white, brown, yellow, pink or turqoise...
We are already stripping people on airports, next if someone makes a bomb that can be injected into the blood stream we might be dripping them like cows on a slaughter before letting them board aircraft, or will we start plugging into people's minds to read their thoughts?
Fiction now, maybe fact tomorrow...in this war on terrorism are we going to create super terrorists like we are seeing superbugs now...is 'war' really the answer to terrorism...or could $120bn be used to actually uplift the poor...maybe love and caring is the answer not war
