Missile Defense

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?

The speech of the great dictator - Chaplin - Film

http://www.kuva.fi/users/yjanni/CCdict.html

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say "Do not despair".

Ja Herr Kommandata, "defending the slaughter of innocent people in order to control the resources of a third world nation" is exactly what you do railing against efforts to get rid of Sodom.

Or were you totally unaware that Hussein and his chraming kids have brutally murdered and estimated ONE AND A HALF MILLION people? I guess ignorance IS bliss after all.

While you're shedding your delusions, remember that we could have bought every single drop of Iraqi oil for the next eight years, jsut for the price of the single appropriation in fron to congress.
