William S. Lind has written the “On War” blog for a number of years. He published what may be his last column, On War #326, Finis this week. Provocative and insightful, his writings tried to make sense out of military strategy as the world’s forces move towar 4th Generation Warfare (4GW).

Pew Survey Shows 44% of US Respondents Believe China is Largest Economy
Reporting on a recent poll, the Pew Research Center revealed, “44% of the public now says China is the world’s leading economic power.” The overall results indicated a sharp decline in US confidence in its position (see the whole report here). The degree of ignorance this reflects is somewhat staggering. The US’s economy is by… Continue reading Pew Survey Shows 44% of US Respondents Believe China is Largest Economy
Securing the Border: Challenges for the U.S. and Mexico – Part 3
A few weeks ago, William Lind opined on 4th Generation War (4GW) coming to the US in the form of the heavily armed gangs in central California. He questioned our priorities, noting that Iraq and Afganistan may be far less troublesome issues than the developing chaos steming from these gangs (see the below article). Last… Continue reading Securing the Border: Challenges for the U.S. and Mexico – Part 3

ollieweb.org On-Line
Today I brought a new domain up: http://ollieweb.org as a new site using drupal 6. It follows the multi-site approach outlined here: http://drupal.org/node/290768 and took a very few moments to add to the existing two sites, http://www.arboretumfriends.org and http://www.riskeval.com. The site will eventually replace the mediawiki site at http://home.acheson.org, but I am not certain whether… Continue reading ollieweb.org On-Line
