    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?

Read Debates, a new Web-only feature culled from Readers' Opinions, published every Thursday.

"Leave peacefully lest we expel you through our jihad" - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2972308.stm

NOT BOMBED WELL ENOUGH FOR THE "TRUE" ANGLO-SAXON "DEMOCRACY"!

An Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim group said on Saturday it would not join an interim political council envisaged by Iraq's U.S.-British occupying powers unless it was elected, not appointed by American administrator Paul Bremer. - http://famulus.msnbc.com/FamulusIntl/reuters06-07-030948.asp?reg=MIDEAST

THEY SURELY ARE UNFIT FOR THE CHRISTIAN-WHITE-ANGLO-SAXON "democracy"

US helicopters in secret mission to spray Afghanistan's opium fields - http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/story/0,1284,973559,00.html

Crop spraying in Afghanistan would be a different matter - effectively an attempt at bio-sabotage in a country where the approval of the population's representatives had not been sought

THAT'S A WAR CRIME, BIO-TERRORISM AND A SURE DECLARATION OF WAR.

A BAD NEWS FOR THE FOOLISH SECOND-TIER VASSALS (SORRY, OLD-EUROPEAN) AFTER-MASTER-BOMBS-JANITARIAL-PEACEKEPERS.

If Alastair Campbell, as is alleged, wanted the Blair dossier on Iraq 'sexed up' then that was only appropriate given the fact that Campbell was at one time employed by the sex magazine Forum before, that is, he took on a job with Robert Maxwell. - http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,5673,973114,00.html

HOHOHOHOHO.... OOOOH NOT ANY MORE, PLEEEEEEEESE.
