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?

The rage to revenge seemingly on display troughout the Anglo-Saxon world self-associated with the only defintion of Civilization and which called itself the International Community strikingly resembles the reaction of a bull to the red clotch.

Since such a reaction had to be anticipated, one may wonder how this corrida may end.

My sense is, badly even if the bull will manage to pick the matador on its horns...

Germany warns against clash between the West and Islam - http://asia.dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/world/article.html?s=asia/headlines/010916/world/afp/Germany_warns_against_clash_between_the_West_and_Islam.html

I think the ultimate goal of terrorist is to provoke the popular anti-Western reaction and destabilize the "Oil Kindoms". Which will bring the world into severe economic crisis and chaos. Such a move may force the West to try and occupy the oil fields and ignite the war across entire Middle East and not just the Afganistan and Pakistan.

Facing the world oil reserves controled by a handful of Anglo-Saxon countries will cause the severe reaction from other major oil-consuming countries, particularely the Germany, Japan and most importantly - China.

Time to move away from oil. Economies are not as dependant on oil as they were in 72-74 when they fell victim to hyperinflation .. to the benefit of the gulf. (would this be right?) Post that era women around the world, particularly blondes, have been known to recount stories as to how many camels an arab had offered for them - wtr joining their hareem - or was that just an 'UrbanMyth'?

The ball changing hands re oil (MidE.) runs ... 1956 Aden (Britain pays the USA in oil for 'helping'), 1972-4 'inflation' doubles the energy costs of production of goods through the First world, 1991 - DaddyBush - makes commissions from techno-military replenishment via conflict of interest investment links, and 2001 Bwsh allows destabalisation in the MidE. enabling MidE. to grab back their oil and control over world oil usage .. supply and demand - at high prices .....UNTIL ... green and alternative powers really kick-in and dirty oil is redundant.

This time the MidE might spend it's income on raising the potentials abilities and education of its peoples to become a knowledge workforce, skilled and capable of holding a place in a modern world. Rather than squandering money on camel exchanges for ravishing blondes :)

Oh how those energy companies will be wishing they'd started to fund the Green wave more willingly and sooner.

Bwsh doesn't care, has more family commissions from technoMilitary production. And, in any case, is so far ahead in the income stakes that he doesn't care.

Seems these guys didn't put up the transcript re Milton Beardon speaking most extensively - pity - might have saved us from WWIII. He spoke briefly with the news hour last week - less extensively
