    Missile Defense

Russian military leaders have expressed concern about US plans for a national missile defense system. Will defense technology be limited by possibilities for a strategic imbalance? Is this just SDI all over again?

Food for thought
Dealing with Compelextiy raises the question what is the difference between running a huge organisation . v . a small country?

Teamwork seems to be important. Part of the modern solution to complexity ? Much unnecesary violence and terror, that's Paradise Lost, might relate to failures to understand complex systems.

? Bwsh slipping ....

    ?? What Happened to President Bush? How did the new CEO in town go so wrong so fast???
    Now times have turned rough for him. His Plan B is unpopular to the point of absurdity. Essentially what he wants is this: drilling and missile defense. What is he thinking? It would be hard to find a less popular set of issues.
Part of Bush's problem (a large part) is that the Democratic Senate has taken Bush's "New Order, In Order" plan and turned it into "New Order, Out of Order."

Shols, Russia seems to be getting all the gigs at the moment. Had the film festival, now the 2008 road show .... "And the winner is ____________ " they keep getting on our news.

Noticed a sensible American MD Carl Levin on The News Hour .. your Thursday show perhaps .. our Friday night -- talking on MD and financing it - or not - and the 1972 guidelines and their meaning. Pointed out that the Bwsh ULTIMATUM without negotiation is out of line with the treaty. Wonder if Bwsh was a 'spoilt brat' as a kid - coming over that way as a President.

2008: Remember ... When the world-women went to Beijing in 1995 ... for wimmins meeting ... the locals were told they were prostitues, they were under surveillance and harassed by police .... the meeting that was supposed to be in Beijing was re-located 50 miles out of the city .... 'wonder if they'll have the games in Beijing .... then re-locate them to a tent city in the Gobi Desert ... just like that' ...
