 Many generous people deserve special thanks for their assistance in
the preparation and completion of this project. I wish to express
my gratitude to each of the contributors for agreeing to tackle a
difficult and inherently controversial subject. I am only sorry
that C.I. Eugene Kim did not live long enough to see the fruits of
his labor; he will be sorely missed by all of us who knew him. The
Third World and the military do not respond easily to scrutiny by
social scientists. Many colleagues and referees read all or part of
the manuscript; I am grateful to Professors Richard Lane, Roy
Christman, and Bob Kumamoto of San Jose State University and
Timothy Lukes of Santa Clara University, who offered numerous
helpful* comments. My parents, Panos and Athanasia Danopoulos, my
brother George and his wife, Niki, my aunt Areti Paraskevopoulou,
and my koumbaro George Nikoletopoulos have provided boundless moral
support. Polly Taylor's expert typing and coding made the
preparation of the typescript possible. Finally, my wife, Vickie,
and our two sons, Panos and Andreas, deserve special thanks for
their willingness to endure the long hours that writing and
manuscript preparation entail. Though helpful, none of these people
bear any responsibility for any problems associated with this
volume. Responsibility for the accuracy and scholastic quality of
what follows belongs to the contributors and myself.
				
		 
	
	
		
			
				
			
	
 
Unqualified divine simplicity not only contradicts the central

implausible any positive relation between God and world, God and
time.
