Do you think it's safe to live next to the world biggest terrorist target in the world? Good job! Fortunately these...

...will force the world to submit to your will. Now you have absolutely no reason not to just send a million of these to some country. It's better than a nuke. Congratulations you rule the world. People are still willing to go to war with you now that the kill ratios are 100 to 1. That means you would have to fight knowing that you and 100 of your fellow soldiers will have to die to kill one American enemy combatant. What interests me is how sophisticated these robots will become.
Personally, I think that they should be treated just like land mines. IE: Mechanical or electrical devices that kill without and human command. They're just land mines that can move around, and target moving heat signatures.

There are already 100 of them on deployment in iraq working as bomb sniffers etc. They're due out very soon.

E=Bombs don't work against americans. Atleast air force one anyways. I'm from halifax and I read a newspaper about how all the wiring is sheilded in the case of nuclear war. Besides, no one has emp's yet.

Nah.. orphans would be a much cheaper, more accurate and more expendable replacement for these robots. Plus they're immune to E-bombs.

I wonder when we will start sending them into the past to take out targets of opportunity.
