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?

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click

You're asking too much of a successful professional
politician and responsible U.S. president, it seems to me.
Bush can't possibly trade away thinkable oil money except as
part of a package. Moreover - stability of oil markets
is a key security need of the US.

Sorry to disrupt your excitement regarding Bolton's
excrusions but what I heard was that Chinese were laughing so
hard that they couldn't even respond to Bolton's bold push to
scare NKs with UN security council resolutions....Bolton,
being the "expert" on Chinese and NK strategic thoughts then
interpreted their smiles as a slient agreement to his
proposals...these Bush guys are better than anything Hollywood
can produce.

.. look back at the 1972 hyperinflation issues ... where
greedy oil-sellers were trying to kill the advanced economies!

When North and South Koreans are 'the same' people ... that
Soul is the prospective reception-center for so much
potential-death is hard to understand.

China has 'Olympics on it's mind' --- it will want the NK
situation peacefully sorted out soonest.
