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?

" In democratic America it was considered that during the
course of a Ball all present were on an equal social footing.
The host (and/or hostess) would receive respect due to
position and service and a visiting dignitary might be briefly
acknowledged and honored, but by and large all would be
considered as equals - at least for the evening.
.... our interest is in creating an atmosphere that
includes rather than excludes so that all can enjoy,
experience and learn together .... "

RU USA relations http://www.rispubs.com/article.cfm?Number=387
In the spring of 1999, when U.S.-Russian relations had
reached one of the lowest points in the post-Soviet period,
the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Council
on Foreign and Defense Policy in Russia launched parallel
working groups in Washington and Moscow. U.S.-Russian
Relations at the Turn of the Century, the final report from
those meetings, provides analyses and guidelines for improving
troubled relations between the two superpowers. Calling for
renewed broad engagement and for rebuilding the relationship
on a more realistic basis, this work sets key points in the
agenda as policy makers and the two countries face new
political leadership.
Synopsis Two reports published here are the product of a
unique project involving leading US and Russian policy
analysts and former senior government officials working in
US-Russian relations. Reports provide US and Russian
assessments of the state of the US-Russian relationship and
its prospects, as well as guidelines for its improved
management. Reports are presented in English and Russian.

What People Are Saying Ricahrd G. Lugar
These parallel reports from Washington and Moscow provide a
valuable and unique opportunity to compare the views of
leading American and Russian experts and former officials on
the troubled state of U.S.-Russian relations and their
prescriptions for starting to repair them.
— (Richard G. Lugar United States Senator)
These reports highlight the U.S. stakes in Russia and in a
healthy outcome to Russia's difficult transition. In this
connection, they underscore the importance of reversing the
growing estrangement between Washington and Moscow and getting
the relationship back on track.

Security Advisor to President George Bush)

BUCHAREST (AFP) Oct 11, 2003
Romania on Friday denied it was holding talks with the
United States on installing a missile defense system against a
potential attack from Iran.
Germany's Sueddeutsche newspaper quoted US diplomatic
sources as saying the US government was concerned Iran is
developing a satellite program and could therefore probably
fire intercontinental missiles.
Analysts quoted by the newspaper speculated that Washington
was holding talks with Romania and Bulgaria on bilateral
agreements to station missiles in the countries as a NATO-wide
agreement would be difficult.
