Science
Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?

NO one is FOR war
No one is FOR torture, starvation, deprivation
No one is FOR repression
If it takes war to remove a nightmare
Let it be
small
Everyone is FOR a future
Everyone is FOR a tomorrow
Everyone is FOR a smiling child
Everyone is FOR a good dinner with good talk
Everyone is FOR international modernity
Is that what Everyone's FOR ?

Had Saddam had a brain
He would have walked into exile
To save on death and pain
Shame Shame Shame ! ! !

But fortunately for the neo-conservative hawks over at the
American Enterprise Institute (AEI) on 19th St., three blocks
from the White House, it appears that Hussein remains alive,
and the invasion will now go forward as planned. "That we
appear not to have gotten Saddam Hussein last night ... may be
a blessing in disguise," came the email message from AEI's
press center.
A "decapitation" strategy targeted on Hussein, his sons,
and a few other top Ba'ath officials without a full-scale
invasion and occupation represents a dangerous threat to the
neocon vision for the future of the Middle East. "As in
Operation Desert Storm, the measure of victory in this war
against Iraq will not be how big we start but where and when
we stop," said the message from resident fellow Tom Donnelly.
"'Going to Baghdad' means more than physically occupying the
city. It is a metaphor for tearing out Saddamism, root and
branch. There will be many moments – and a quick kill on
Saddam would be one – where some might be tempted to say, as
the first Bush administration did when the television
pictures of the famous Highway of Death hit American airwaves
in 1991, that enough has been done".
For them, Iraq must not only be de-Ba'athized, but
Washington must also be accorded the opportunity to show the
world, (especially other Muslim states) just how powerful and
determined the United States is
