In wake of terrorism, modern armies prove to be dinosaurs of defense

Article Abstract:

It has been proved many times over that the modern army, designed for conventional warfare, cannot respond effectively to terrorism and other forms of irregular warfare. Even with all of its sophisticated technologies, in the face of a faceless opponent, the armed forces are almost completely inutile. Some countries are responding to the situation by re-training their soldiers to handle intra- instead of interstate struggle and restructuring their system. Others still refuse to accept the realities of the late 20th-century, continuing to design superpowerful but totally ineffective weapons.

From swords to silicon chips in Israel

Article Abstract:

Israel has greatly benefited from the immigration of Russian Jews to the country and military-civilian conversion as it has become competitive in the global economy in terms of knowledge-based products. This phenomenon is illustrated by a start-up company which uses the technology for artificial reality simulators on medical surgery. However, the country must have a fiscally sound and a free-market economy to harness its potential as a world-class, knowledge-based economy.
