  1. Sputnik was a huge motivator during the 'Cold War', an 'attack' on the USA as a leader in technological achievement and applying those achievements to commercial and military use at the time. But I'd agree PZ missed it big time by leaving out the 9/11 attack.

  2. Not saying none are foreign agents, but a lot of those coming to the USA see more promise here that in the places they left, and the risks they face getting here and establishing themselves are worth it to them. Some of those foreign 'military age' folks might be easily flipped when they see they can get ahead and possibly rise in economic standing vs the inability to enter the 'patriarch class' in their country of origin. And for the record: I'm for better border and immigration control, but a border wall is a waste of funds.

  3. Its a guessing game, a form of gambling. You just have to guess right more often that guessing wrong.
