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?

Powell

"" ... Powell has joined calls for Iraq to allow United Nations inspectors back in to complete their assessment of its weapons industry. He said the inspections would be a first step ... Powell's comments seem to contradict US Vice-President Dick Cheney who said last week that there was no point sending weapons inspectors back into Iraq - and argued forcefully for military action.
