    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.

We need to have force available, ask for change, and respond so that it has a chance to occur.

We're on the road to that - if we, and the Iraqis, working together, don't make a mess of it. That could easily happen. Hope it doesn't.

out.

" The modern Senate is a rubber stamp on foreign-policy issues, regardless of whether the stamp is held by Democrats or Republicans." - http://www.msnbc.com/news/830896.asp?0dm=C1AQO

What does the USA Parliament actually do ...
(a question previously voiced on this board) ...


    they aquiesce
    subject themselves
    fail to set up Health&Safety legislation to protect from Asbestos
    are emasculated
    yet well compensated
    Wisdom may come with age,
    yet health, vigor and vitality
    diminish with the same ....
    USA Parliament is a pasture - out to grass- for the way-past retired ... who don't need income!
    Why are they there?
For the past Eighty three years the USA Parliament has been a rubber stamp!
