    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.

Spots can organise themselves into patterns too ...

Symmetry can be achieved using spots with paper fold Notice the POPE is counting the dots today .... as Arch Angel Gabriel from on high targets dots into St Peter's square for Papals to run around and collect all the while singing 'Thank-you God!'

Tax-cut ends up on the cutting-room-floor

    ""Are you confused? So are the experts. For 90 percent of Americans, none of this matters, because they will get little or nothing from the dividend tax exemption anyway. But among the minority who might expect to gain, many will find their tax cut chewed up by fees for lawyers and accountants.

Comment | If legal-eagles are to be the true recipients of the tax cuts ... and if USA legals live hand-to-mouth as elsewhere ... the cuts may in fact just get spent and work!

Pygmy - killed if job not done

U.N. team is investigating reports that Congolese rebel troops have killed and eaten Pygmies in northeastern Congo, a U.N. official said. The two rebel factions often hire Pygmies to hunt food for them in the forests as they fight to oust the rival rebel Congolese Rally for Democracy-Liberation from mineral-rich areas of Ituri province, a U.N. official said. If the expert hunters return empty-handed, rebel troops kill and eat them, the official said.

Send the greeds home - then -

The Pygmies would have had improved chances
