Let's Sell The Bones : The Marketing of America's Missing In
Action (More Inside) What McNamara Learned from Viet Nam
What McNamara Learned from Viet Nam
01/26/2004 03:00 PM History may not repeat itself, but it does rhyme a lot. -- Mark Twain
As much as it might have served my rhetorical purposes, I have been
reluctant to draw parallels between our involvements in Viet Nam and
Iraq. Most such comparisons seem invidious and over-wrought. Still, in
a compelling January 24 column in the Toronto Globe and Mail, Doug
Saunders cites a list of lessons that Robert McNamara said (in his
1995 book Retrospect) he had gleaned from his soul-searching autopsy
of the American defeat in Viet Nam. I repeat them here for the
purposes of discussion. Based on the course of the Iraqi invasion thus
far, some of them seem chillingly familiar. The question arises, if we
are repeating some or all of the same errors, how can we proceed from
this point to a more positive result than we obtained in Southeast
Asia. McNamara's List: We misjudged then -- and we have since -- the
geopolitical intentions of our adversaries . . . and we exaggerated
the dangers to the United States of their actions. We viewed the
people and leaders of South Vietnam in terms of our own experience. .
. . We totally misjudged the political forces within the country. We
underestimated the power of nationalism to motivate a people to fight
and die for their beliefs and values. Our judgments of friend and foe
alike reflected our profound ignorance of the history, culture, and
politics of the people in the area, and the personalities and habits
of their leaders. We failed then -- and have since -- to recognize the
limitations of modern, high-technology military equipment, forces and
doctrine. . . . We failed as well to adapt our military tactics to the
task of winning the hearts and minds of people from a totally
different culture. We failed to draw Congress and the American people
into a full and frank discussion and debate of the pros and cons of a
large-scale military involvement . . . before we initiated the action.
After the action got under way and unanticipated events forced us off
our planned course . . . we did not fully explain what was happening
and why we were doing what we did. We did not recognize that neither
our people nor our leaders are omniscient. Our judgment of what is in
another people's or country's best interest should be put to the test
of open discussion in international forums. We do not have the
God-given right to shape every nation in our image or as we choose. We
did not hold to the principle that U.S. military action . . . should
be carried out only in conjunction with multinational forces supported
fully (and not merely cosmetically) by the international community. We
failed to recognize that in international affairs, as in other aspects
of life, there may be problems for which there are no immediate
solutions. . . . At times, we may have to live with an imperfect,
untidy world. Underlying many of these errors lay our failure to
organize the top echelons of the executive branch to deal effectively
with the extraordinarily complex range of political and military
issues. By the way, Saunders says that, in a phone conversation with
McNamara, the latter rendered the following opinion of the Iraqi
invasion, "We're misusing our influence. It's just wrong what we're
doing. It's morally wrong, it's politically wrong, it's economically
wrong." If that is so, what do we do now?...

as if to taunt us, one more from Sony today: a massive digital video
recorder called the Type X with more than 1 terabyte of storage and
not one, not two, and not even three TV tuners, but SEVEN TV tuners
for recording up to seven different shows at the same time (we defy
you to even find seven simulataneous TV shows worth recording). This
one looks like it might not hit stores for a while. And yes, it'll
probably only be for Japan.

the same time?

Geier:
As a design rule, access points within range of each
other should be set to channel frequencies with minimal overlap.
Otherwise, you'll find that roaming doesn't work well, and
performance will degrade because of interference between access
points.

Telemarketers, Spammers Looking For New
Channels
Telemarketers, Spammers Looking For New
Channels
11/13/2003 05:16 PMIt's popular these days to talk about putting in place technical and
legal barriers to direct marketers and spammers. It sounds nice, but
people forget that every time you put up barriers in front of these
sorts of people, they seem to figure out new (and potentially more
annoying) ways to reach you. So, it's no surprise to see these two
articles show up on the same day. First, we find out that
telemar
keters are exploring other ways to get their message out there,
including convincing people to "opt-in" for telemarketing pitches.
Meanwhile, the spammers are branching out as well,
adding
comment spam to blogs, spamming instant messenger users and using
mobile phone text messaging spam. No matter what we do, it
appears these folks think it's their right to bug the crap out of the
rest of us. I'm guessing that it's wishful thinking to hope for
universal enlightenment among these folks to realize that annoying
people is not the best way to get their message across. I can dream,
though.

No Channels, But Plenty To Watch
07/02/2004 06:02 PMFor years, the joke has been that we kept getting more television
channels, but there was consistently less on TV. It used to be that
the idea of having 100 channels was amazing, but now people have a few
hundred channels to choose from on many TV systems. However, the
latest report from Nielsen says that, for the first time ever,
the
average number of channels available has dropped. TV execs
are freaking out and want a recount. Some are blaming things like
TiVos for the mess, but Ernest Miller (at the link above) makes the
argument that the concept of "channels" is going away thanks to the
internet. People don't want more "channels" -- they want more
interactivity and control, and you just don't find that with TV these
days.

Pick Your Own Channels Law Proposed,

Pick Your Own Channels Law Proposed,
Denied
04/29/2004 11:56 AMA bill is being discussed in Congress that would force satellite TV
companies to put local broadcast TV channels on a single dish.
Apparently, many split the channels between two dishes, and require
you to get both if you want all their local channels. However, more
interesting is that one Congressman has tried to add an amendment to
the bill that would
allow subscribers to do a la carte channel picking -
something many consumers have wanted for many years. Unfortunately,
the amendment was quickly withdrawn after others expressed "concern"
over the amendment - though, it's not clear what their concerns were
(other than making some of their corporate contributors unhappy).
There's still a chance that the amendment will be re-introduced later,
but it seems unlikely to be accepted.
