	Dyer, Gwynne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Gwynne Dyer is a Canadian journalist, syndicated columnist and military analyst.
		War was a reflection of Dyer's own growing concern about the proliferation of new technology, its impact on the changing nature of warfare and the growing threat of nuclear annihilation.
		Dyer argued that the danger posed by the explosive mix of ideology and nuclear technology could only be mitigated by a total elimination of nuclear arsenals.

	A Scenario For Survival: Gwynne Dyer Pinpoints Canada's Responsibility In Tipping The System Of World Affairs Away ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Gwynne Dyer is a syndicated journalist and military historian, best known for his two television series, War and The Defence of Canada.
		Dyer: That is why almost all that I was talking about in terms of what we would have to do as a nonaligned country had to do with reassuring the United States.
		Dyer: My own preference would be for a focus on getting out of the alliances, simply because it is the one thing Canada could do that would have any influence on the larger questions that will decide our fate and everybody else’s.

	Gwynne Dyer at UCFV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Dyer's lecture is part of the UCFV President’s Lecture Series for 2001, which is sponsored by the Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation.
		Dyer will speak about the peaceful "almost magical" evaporation of the Cold War and recent actions taken by world powers to protect innocent people in East Timor and Kosovo as indications that "something big" is going on.
		Dyer acknowledges that the new global economy means that industrialized countries like Canada lose labour-intensive jobs to those who will work longer and harder hours, and also that Canada is still threatened by the old ethnic quarrel between the British and the French.

	Powell's Books - War: The Lethal Custom by Gwynne Dyer
		As Dyer covers the history of human warfare-from primitive tribal skirmishes and the 'total war' of WWI and II to the imbroglios of the past 30 years (including the current one in Iraq)-a sense of cyclical inexorability begins to creep in, of history repeating itself again and again.
		Implicit in Dyer's argument is the idea that, in war, humans have become increasingly subjugated to the increasingly awesome power of their machines, so that the nuclear stalemate of the Cold War becomes a logical extension of the deadlock of WWI trench warfare.
		Dyer is an accomplished military historian who bolsters his extensive knowledge with a rhetorical style that is at once invisible and entirely convincing.

	The Independent, January 19, 2000: Gwynne Dyer speaks at Belleville church
		That's how Dr. Gwynne Dyer concluded his study of several of the bloodiest conflicts of the 1990's.
		Dyer, a widely-published journalist, and a widely-interviewed TV pundit, spoke to a full house last Thursday at the Bridge Street Church in Belleville.
		In Dyer's portrayal, Western democracies are often cowardly, they are sometimes hypocritical, and they are always inconsistent -- but in the past year a coalition, including Canada, did put a stop to genocides in Kosovo and East Timor.

		Dyer may have finally more-or-less decided that the web isn't going to go away, but that doesn't mean he's become a guru.
		Dyer was a better writer in the 1970s and 80s.
		(Dyer would have preferred the US come to terms with the Taliban and bin Laden -- a strategy as unlikely as GWB becoming a rationalist.) Even so, cranky and irrational Dyer is still better than most commentary.

	Scoop: Response To NZ Herald — Re: Gwynne Dyer On Nepal
		Dyer to carefully re-examine his statement in the context of heightened public rhetoric, espoused by the Maoists, after the King's take-over.
		Dyer's proposition, there are those who would argue that by taking the reigns of power, King Gyanendra has eliminated massive inefficiencies in Nepal's state machinery and has thus, significantly heightened the cost to the Maoists of their "best alternative to a negotiated solution."
		Dyer does, I would urge these nations to engage King Gyanendra is a constructive manner so that Nepal's Maoist insurgency may be resolved, a major regional crisis averted and the dream for a democratic Nepal (with a fresh breed of leadership), kept alive.

		Dyer is also factually wrong about what actually happened during Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount.
		Dyer is factually wrong again when he writes that “in response to that [1967] disaster, he took Fatah into the Palestinian Liberation Organization in 1968, became the PLO's leader, and launched the campaign of international terrorism that made him famous.”

	War by Gwynne Dyer
		Dyer has woven the events of the last 20 years into the fabric of the narrative, instead of tacking on an extra chapter at the end - thus it reads like a new book, not a money-grabbing enhancement of an old one.
		Dyer uses archaeological evidence and combines it with analyses on the behaviours of our primate cousins (chimps, baboons, etc.) to build a description of the origin of organised society and the roots of warfare.
		Dyer of course isn't the only writer who's been able to look at war in such terms--Herman Wouk postscripted "War and Remembrance" with the comment that either war is finished or we are.

		Dyer's guilty of some sloppy writing, but he's essentially right (Bali is part of the muslim world, by the way, so the first part of his statement is still correct).
		Dyer unabashedly embraces the belief that terrorism is a vastly exaggerated threat with his " logarithmic scale for disasters " hypothesis on pages 53 - 57.
		Hermit, Dyer states in his book that Islamist terrorists deliberately embarked on a strategy to attack western powers, particularly the U.S., and preferably at home, as a means to get the U.S. to do things that would advance the Islamist cause, such as invading and occupying Muslim countries.

	Why we must lose this war (Metro Times Detroit) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Dyer isn’t starry-eyed about this; he thinks it will take a hundred years at least to get major countries to stop resorting to war, “for it is trying to change international habits that had at least 5,000 years to take root.”
		Dyer writes, “No other major power wants to abandon the project to outlaw war … but if the world’s greatest power becomes a rogue state, they won’t have much choice.” Some days, it appears we’ve already crossed the line.
		Dyer argues what other economists have told me in whispers: “The U.S. economy is a confidence trick based on everybody else’s perception that the United States is centrally important for the world’s security and that its economy is centrally important for the world economy.”

	Books at Random House of Canada \| War by Gwynne Dyer
		With this provocative statement, Gwynne Dyer launches his brilliant discussion of the history and nature of war.
		He traces the growth of organized warfare through history, showing conclusively that the basic tenet has remained unchanged — war is an act of mass violence applied against an enemy so that he will do what you want him to do.
		This is the context in which warfare, as opposed to casual and illegitimate violence, must be seen: it is something states do, and have always done, because they believe it serves their interest.
