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 guys who killed (9sept2001) were mainly from Saudi Arabia - as may be the current suicide bombers - supposedly 30 who killed those expats this week.

The need is to educate the muslim whackos.

Can someone tell them they go to hell not heaven when they bomb regular civillians.

Those in Saudi who died or were injured may have been expats bringing into that land the knowledge and skills that will help build it.

Say the oil pipes were turned off in Saudi - they lost their quota for the world oil market (on the fools don't deserve basis).

How would Saudi function - right now without income from oil?

If the USA is to set up new administrations in Iraq - it should look to the whole of the population including women - set up key people and parties and give them time to become known before the people to enable voters to have appreciation of their abilities.

With Iraq the US are finding that it's much easier to knock out infrastructre than to establish it. And it's the 'bare necessities' upon which Iraqis are judging them. Why isn't the water, food, and oil flowing smoothly?

"" The attacks coincided with growing tension in the kingdom.

This follows the publication of a communiqué by three Muslim scholars who called on Saudis not to assist the government in the hunt for 19 alleged al-Qaeda militants who have been sought since May 6 after the discovery of a large cache of weapons and explosives.

Prince Nayef, Saudi Arabian interior minister, said on Tuesday that the 19 were behind the attack on Monday, while the scholars said prior to the bombings that the 19 had done no harm to Muslims and should be respected for being anti-American.
