    HON. RON PAUL OF TEXAS, June 29, 2006 Before the U.S. House of Representatives

    "We are in a world today where we have a non-state actor using all the tools of weaponry... That’s what this new 21st-century warfare is going to look like. We have now entered an era where non-states or quasi-states do a lot better militarily than states do." Peter Singer (Brookings, author of "Corporate Warriors") in reference to Hezbollah’s performance against the Israeli military. From a NYTimes article by Thom Shanker.
    Although Peter Singer’s statement is likely unsupported, he does (…)
