--In addition to keeping up to continual changes in the world scene, I've got a few forward-looking and (what may turn out to be) long-lasting topics I'm working on. One that will be occupying a few items in the Globalization series deals with a new philosophy that I'm trying to put together, "Philosophy of Peace and Well-Being." This philosophy stems from the works of A.N. Whitehead (American philosopher) and the great German philosopher Hegel.
--Aside from that, I'm enjoyng El Paso immensely. I understand they'll be building a 22-story apartment-hotel complex on North Mesa Street soon. Just goes to indicate, the boom in building happening here.

Some Hezbollah groups supportive of the West
I don't have time to follow up on what I've heard, but I understand that there's at least a Persian wing of the Hezbollah that's helping the West destroy the radical Islam movement. Hoorah. I've tried to maintain the position that there's a lot of good to the Hezbollah--they just need the right leadership and they won't be supporting Assad.
I believe the Hamas are basically ok, once they give up on the PLO leadership of the Palestinians and disarm their military arm.

XVIII. US Military Intelligence likely superior to Congressional
Please remember this is a Whack-O Theory--not a grain of truth to it!
I can't conceive that the US military divulges its state-of-the-art methodologies in warfare--even to Congress! And I imagine that since the rules of engagement have changed--placing emphasis on Naval weaponry and technology to awe any enemy with ranges of thousands of miles.. Importantly, this new era of military intelligence relies on cyber advances that deploy drones and long-range honing in on enemy targets. According to my way of thinking, it is appropriate to devalue the use of tanks and field artillery and de-emphasize planing for foot-soldier and field fighting encounters.. Specifically an army of 450,000 is just about right! To my way of thinking, the day of man-to-man fighting on some battlefield is a thing of the past!
What is needed for the kind of military era I believe is rapidly developing is a sophisticated computer technology to give the US military the leadership role for centuries to come. Look at how North Korea and Russia display for their public sleek new models in conventional warfare--what I regard as obsolete tactics suggesting effete methods of aggression. As if the Muslim extremists don't exist; and the rules of engagement are still the same as in centuries of yore. Look for missiles coming down from outer space!
