On
April 27, 2000, the White House released an
EXECUTIVE
ORDER
re:
GLOBAL
DISASTER INFORMATION NETWORK
By
the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, and in order to establish a
Global Disaster Information Network to use information
technology more effectively to reduce
loss of life and property from natural and man-made disasters,
it is hereby ordered as follows:
etc.,
etc.
Question:
What about using information technology
more effectively
to reduce loss of life and property from man-made disasters such
as wars? What about using
information technology to prevent wars?
We
know very well what
happens instead (happens instead,
happens instead,
...),
don't we?
