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?

A GU poster of Perle said:
Great,
now Rumsfeld himself should resign:
his department has failed in so many aspects of the
prepatation of this war, it has become an embarasmment:
* They completely underestimated the strength and
commitment of Iraqi forces,
* they failed to open a second front in the North,
* they failed to take Basra within the specified timeline,
* they failed to start with the humanitarian programme,
* they failed to shock and awe and
* they failed to decapitate.

So will these guys 'get Saddam' or will they later quietly
back out of Iraq?
