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?

For wars, brand loyalty is crucial. By the time most people
think critically, tragedies are history. And unlike a
defective product (or a California governor), wars are not
subject to recall.
A successful branding operation preceded the launch of war
on Iraq seven months ago. Despite what we might call extensive
consumer resistance in the United States, the Bush
administration pulled out all the stops to persuade the U.S.
public. The war sold politically because enough people failed
to see through the mendacity. They bought a bogus story line
as truth. - http://www.fair.org/media-beat/031016.html

"where lies truth "
It depends on a definition of "otherwise intelligent
people"
Many consider the right calculation of a "Bottom Line" to
the the "Top of intelligence".

The report by the London-based Control Risks Group said the
number of countries likely to pose a medium security risk to
Western businesses operating in them as 71 for 2004,
with 14 countries bumped up from low-risk. The group is a
private consultancy that advises companies on security. http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-3372811,00.html
THAT'S THE REAL AND THE ONLY MESURE OF A WORLD'S SECURITY
THE LONDON CITY AND THE WALL STREET CARE ABOUT.

the risk is 'a head - the heads' within a nation
peace is peaceful mindset
peaceful mindset has vision, direction, future with
dreaming

The Day of Remembrance of November 11 is soon, as we
acknowledge the great courage and suffering of those who died
so we could remain free...I urge all those here to remember
this...
