Lies, damned lies, and threat perceptions: Kriegsgrunde (1941) revisited, in light of Iraq
Article Abstract:
The 2003 Iraq war, a case that states the failure of U.S. and British soldiers to find any significant trace of Saddam's mooted weapons of mass destruction has led many, including some who supported the war, to complain that they were misled by duplicitous leaders in Washington and London. A comparative discussion on the Iraq war and its announced beginning is presented along with an examination of an earlier instance in which American President lied his country into a war.

Missile defense after Helsinki
Article Abstract:
The 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM) has been successively changed over a number of years to protect nations which have no relevance in US national security. The ABM was originally drawn up as an agreement between the former Soviet Union and the US. An ABM-theater missile defense (TMD) is now likely, but not inevitable. Army TMD systems will continue to evolve although army deployment will be closely monitored.
