| Summary/Abstract |
See mines and the need to counter them have been constants for the US navy since its earliest days. Mines and countermeasures figured prominently in the US Civil War, Spanish American War, Both World Wars, Korea, numerous Cold War, Crises, and Operation Desert Storm and Iraqi freedom. Today, traditional navies as well as maritime terrorists can and do use mines and underwater IEDs (UWIEDs) to challenge military and commercial use of the seas. These "weapons that wait" are the quintessential global asymmetric threat, pitting our adversaries' strengths against what they perceive as US naval and maritime weaknesses.

| Summary/Abstract |
Even at a perfunctory level, a comparative look at the conflicts that took place in the US between the Union and the Confederacy and the one between Nigeria and the Republic of Biafra in 1966-1970 reveals enough to corroborate Chinua Achebe's bold charge made in his last book, There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra, that the Igbo have been wrongly persecuted in Nigeria. Confirmatory pointers to hatred and resentment of the Igbo can still be gleaned long after the Biafra War. So are those that indicate continuing marginalization of and refusal to reintegrate the Igbo, and the areas that made up the Republic of Biafra.
