Im Artikel wird der Einsatz von Mikrowellenwaffen und non-letalen Waffen gegen Personen im Irak diskutiert und empfohlen.
“War in the context of state-building and peacekeeping missions requires new tactics and new weaponry. Non-lethal weapons (NLWs)--high tech devices that incapacitate rather than kill--may provide a part of the answer…The Pentagon also has a fleet of futuristic NLWs that are nearly operational, including a heat laser that raises the skin temperature of a target without causing permanent damage and a microwave weapon that raises a target's internal temperature to induce temporary paralysis.”</HTML>
