In Doom's defense, when was the last time you saw zombies use coordinated attack patterns to flush out and eliminate their objectives? You haven't, because their objectives are brains.
I had a friend who interned for the same appropriations committee a couple years back, and I remember him saying that NASA's budget has actually been declining for years in terms of real dollar value. Even when NASA saw modest increases to their budget over the past decade or two, the increases did not nearly keep pace with inflation. So now that the budget is actually, really being reduced, how are they supposed to continue supporting all of their initiatives?

more means than other ends do. News flash. There
are shades of grey."
I agree. Robert McNamara raises some great questions about this in the Fog of War documentary. He mulls a bit over how much evil is required to do good, the ethics of bombing civilian targets, etc. He was actually fairly involved in the later bombing campaigns that razed most of Japan's cities to the ground. Now, you may think he's a monster, and well, maybe he is. But throughout the interview he remains unapologetic and tries to come at all these questions very objectively. Fascinating to watch.

Not to mention it was well before Starcraft...
