Crossbar wanted to buck the trend and heed the call for open source transparency in security chips and approached me to help advise on strategy. I agreed to help them, but under one condition: that I would be allowed to add a CPU core of my own choice and sell a version of the chip under my own brand. Part of the reason was that Crossbar, for risk reduction reasons, wanted to go with a proprietary ARM CPU. Having designed chips in a prior life, I can appreciate the desire for risk reduction and going with a tape-out proven core.
單靠空襲促成政權更迭並無先例。2003年，伊拉克總統薩達姆‧侯賽因（Saddam Hussein）是被龐大的美國主導地面入侵部隊推翻。2011年，利比亞領導人卡扎菲（Muammar Gaddafi）則是在北約及部分阿拉伯國家提供空中支援下，由反政府武裝推翻。兩個案例的結果都是國家體系崩潰、內戰爆發及數以千計的人喪生。利比亞至今仍是失敗國家（failed state），伊拉克也仍在承受入侵及隨後流血衝突的後果。
