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?

During the Cold War U.S. pitchmen often addressed an
audience, in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, receptive to the
Western model. This time, the latest Pew poll shows that
anti-American sentiment is widespread and growing, not only in
Muslim countries but throughout Europe. - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38308-2002Dec25.html

Any pitch should know where people are 'at' and where they
'want to be' ...
They are at 'the now' and 'want to be where' their
aspirations will take them .....
looking to Maslow that's a higher wrung of the heirarchy

NK Neighbours
China is being brought into play by the international media
China's main goal currently is to make a success of the
Beijing Olympic Games 2008
A question for China to ask is
'Where North Korea brought back into the family of
humanity - would this assist peace and stability in the
region .... leading to a chance of improved success for the
2008 games?'

A question for NK to ask is
'Were NK brought back into the fold of humanity would
the North Korean economy buzz?'
'Would the people of NK start to smile and BE happier?'
'Is there a democratic-blue-print in place ready to be
actioned?'

Is Kristal clear?
Terrorism is a method of applying the pressure on an
opponent by applying the pressure on civilians. In hope the
demoralised population will demand surrender.
In my view, terrorism includes damaging of civilian
infrastructure, broad economic sunctions and killing of
civilians.
The ONLY difference is - the West-designated terrorists put
their lives in danger while "great powers" preferre stealth
bombing from far and above and a slow starvation and deseases
to advance their goals. Oh yes, and a NICE VOCABULARY LIKE
HUMANITARIAN BOMBING and COLATERAL DAMAGE.
