I am no war-hawk, but I do like to keep up on the latest trends in high-tech weaponry.  I have been watching the Army’s Silent Guardian project with keen interest.  A review of this new ‘wave of agony’ weapon was posted here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_article_id=482560&in_page_id=1965

Non-lethal force to break up anti-war protests, riots, neo-Nazis, desert raves, high school proms, and bio-physicists conventions.  I love it.

Or a step into the more lethal side of things, researchers at the University of California Riverside are trying to create an annihilation gamma ray laser.  This new laser is made by combining electrons with their anti-partical positron to create a laser one million times more powerful than existing lasers.  Read all about it here:

Seems like just what we need to finish off the war in Iraq.
