But I did note the names of several, and one, SAIC, was instrumental in the role of NSI becoming the profitable monopoly (for .com, .net and .org registrations) it became, prior to the well-intentioned but aborted gTLD-MoU movement, which was hosed off to become the ICANN process. As well, Halliburton (Cheney) receives some mention, for its subsidiary, Kellogg Brown and Root, who I recall rejoiced at Johnson's becoming President, as they went from a small TEXAS building company to one of the world's top contractors, mainly through development of SE Asian bases ... As the list is simmering, I thought I'd ask any for their ideas?

No one else is going to do this for you. Ken Gordon Leadership in the right direction finds followers and supporters. D. Rumsfeld Let us learn our lessons. Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on that strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. Winston Churchill Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: That the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received - hatred.
