Bionic Bugs To Fight Terrorists
dptalia writes "Israel is looking to create a small robot, no larger than a hornet to follow, film, and kill terrorists. It's just one of a series of weapons the country is considering as an alternative to conventional technologies. Other ideas floating around include gloves that would give their user 'bionic strength', and ultra-miniaturized sensors to detect explosives on suicide bombers." From the article: "The research integrates nanotechnology into Israel's security department and will find creative solutions to problems the army has been unable to address, Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres told Yedioth Ahronoth. 'The war in Lebanon proved that we need smaller weaponry. It's illogical to send a plane worth $100 million against a suicidal terrorist. So we are building futuristic weapons,' Peres said."
the ``Shadout Mapes'' who is sent to summon him...
I haven't actually read dune but I have seen the 80's film. Is "Shadout Mapes" the name of the housekeeper or is this some kind of title?
There is a ton of Dune books out there, should one start with the original Dune or are there better books to be read by someone with the knowledge of the film in mind? I know some stuff was changed but I don't know how much.

The situation is far more complicated than that. The ruling government, Fatah, had been so incredibly corrupt that a plurality of voters just wanted something else. You don't have to agree with all of a party's goals to find them slightly less bad of a choice than another party.
