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?

Review Eyeless in Iraq By Arthur Schlesinger,
Jr.
. America Unbound: The Bush Revolutionin
Foreign Policy by Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay
Brookings Institution Press,227 pp., $22.95
. The George W. Bush Presidency: An Early
Assessment edited by Fred I. Greenstein Johns Hopkins
University Press, 314 pp., $55.00; $19.95 (To be published
in November.)
" 1. President George W. Bush has made a fatal change in
the foreign policy of the United States. He has repudiated the
strategy that won the cold war—the combination of containment
and deterrence carried out through such multilateral agencies
as the UN, NATO, and the Organization of American States. The
Bush Doctrine reverses all that. The essence of our new
strategy is military: to strike a potential enemy,
unilaterally if necessary, before he has a chance to strike
us.
" Mr. Bush has replaced a policy aimed at peace through
the prevention of war by a policy aimed at peace through
preventive war.
And the preventative wars have been very badly handled
from many - many points of view - to an extent that is
almost surreal.

Democracy is the only protection we have against despotic
and arbitrary government, and this story is deeply disturbing.
Imagine if you will that you are a political interest group
that wishes to control forevermore the levers of power.
Imagine further that you know you are likely to implement a
highly unpopular political agenda, and you do not wish to be
removed by a ballot driven backlash.

Showalter thinks that the UN and the hilarious
"Organization of American States" (the mighty powers of
Barbados, etc.) actually helped win the Cold War...??? The UN
sat on the sidelines and did nothing ....the reference to the
OAS is merely laughable...

Showalter thinks
that the COLD WAR isn't over There was no END GAME in
place.
That's what he's said on this board.
