      abstract = {The title of this book echoes a phrase used by the  Washington Post to describethe American attempt to kill  Saddam Hussein at the start of the war againstIraq. Its  theme is the notion of targeting (skopos) as the name of an  intentionalstructure in which the subject tries to confirm  its invulnerability by aiming todestroy a target. At the  center of the first chapter is Odysseus's killing of the  suitors;the second concerns Carl Schmitt's Roman  Catholicism and Political Form; thethird and fourth treat  Freud's "Thoughts for the Times on War and Death" and"The  Man Moses and Monotheistic Religion." Weber then traces the  emergenceof an alternative to targeting, first within  military and strategic thinking itself("Network Centered  Warfare"), and then in Walter Benjamin's readings  of"Capitalism as Religion" and "Two Poems of Friedrich  Hölderlin."},
