Listened to Victor Davis Hansen on the radio this morning. He has an interview with Peter Boyles and Governor Owens on 630 KHOW, discussing VDH's book "Conquest".

Basic gist is Western military will dominate, because of several cultural factors:
1. Technological edge, and willingness to embrace new technology.
2. Esprit de corps. Troops are fighting for ideals, not the boss.

Number 2 is also why the all-volunteer Army is much better than a draft Army.
