For a decade, commentators, analysts and military observers have been talking about a new defence 'paradigm' and the 'revolution in military affairs', but only then, when airliners were used as weapons of mass destruction, did the revolution and the paradigm take flight and a new 'warform' mobilise.

Wow. For a second there, I thought we were going to be treated to an intelligent analysis of the revolutionary implications of suicidists as human delivery sytems for Weapons of Mass Destruction. But the article just turned out to be the same old same old. Oh, well, you know what they say about generals always preparing to fight the last battle. Now we know why.
