#2 As long as USA universities are concerned with integration of womyn & minorities in STEM, USA is going to eat China's dust.

#3 In fact, let me take it a step further. Drop the policy of high school grades determining access to higher education - really intelligent/creative people not doing well in schools run by third-raters.

#4 The Skunkworks lads delivered innovation unfettered to your military and spooks free from administrative buffoonery for years.

In my opinion, fancy tech alone does not win battles. Resolve and willingness to descend to levels of crazy does. Partly the reason the west has been stumbling indecisively in the mid-east for so long.

As for the chinks, their only war xp for decades has been smashing in tibetan monk skulls with Norinco56 butts and sneaking into neighbours' backyards to build plastic sheds. China's advantage over the west will never be fancy weapons of war.

If there is any advantage on their side it's the west's unreasonable adherence to some faux-altruistic tenet of propriety in combat, rules of engagement, humanist conventions and anti-confrontationism.

It's not that Iran,China, Turkey, whatever are becoming stronger. It's that the USA, the only real 'Annihilator level' military is mired in faulty policy and powerplays within.

#6 One such opportunity for the U.S. to take a significant step forward is with the upcoming merger of Raytheon Co (RTN) and United Technologies Corp (UTX). The mergers of such companies would create innovation powerhouses that would not only place the U.S. on track but give the necessary bandwidth to surpass competing nations in relatively short form.

I've seen a lot of corporate mergers result in nothing but big payoffs for the stockholders of the company being swallowed and layoffs for their employees. If there is any innovative capability in either of the two companies they can damn well develop it on their own or else stop crowing about how great they are.

Pull our companies out of China, stop giving them our intellectual property, keep our people from being bribed by the commie bastards. IOW, treat them like we treated the USSR. Then we'll see what kind of threat they pose.

#7 Letting McDonnel Douglas get absorbed into Boeing doesn't look like it's doing too well these days.

#8 In R&D bigger doesn't mean better, quite the contrary.

#9 p.s. Once heard a former CO of Israel Military Industry say "In my time security had orders to escort any MBA from the territory -- politely, but firmly".
