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?

Iraq: Bad will vs. Goodwill - http://english.pravda.ru/main/2003/01/30/42791.html
Washington forgets the meaning of goodwill, concentrating
instead upon gossip Examining a marmalade store hoping to find
weapons of mass destruction is the style of the UNMOVIC team
which balances between its masters at the United Nations HQ in
New York and the influence of Washington

On February 27th 1933, Nazis put the Reichstag on fire,
having blamed communists for that. The communist party was
outlawed. Social democrats’ turn came in spring; the majority
of them was completely demoralized by that time. Law and order
was established in Germany, and the whole world had to pay for
it. - http://english.pravda.ru/main/2003/01/30/42789.html

Leader of the opposition, Mr. Simon Crean, accused the
Prime Minister of lying to the Australian people about the
country's commitment to the US-led attack against Iraq. At the
same time, the media here revealed that a squadron of 18 Air
Force planes is scheduled to leave for the Middle East within
the next two weeks.
A prominent Australian defence specialist said in a TV
interview today that Iraq has no links with al-Qaeda and the
country should rather focus on combating terrorism in Asia.
A group of Australians intending to serve as human shields
in Iraq left Adelaide this week.

That's al-Qaeda terrorism .... Indonesia & Phillipines
...
Al-Qaeda terrorism links to the flawed (Nasser Egypt 1952)
concept of a pan arabic axis from the Atlantic in the West to
the Pacific in the East ... give the logic that says Saddam
would be involved in financing Al-Qaeda
The logic against might be that as a 'good administrator'
he see better uses for money ... and looking at the costs
associted with post 9/11 he'd note rises in travel, logisitcs,
security, and wastage of time spent re searches and longer
load times for travellers.

Saddam -- as a 'good administrator' ... and looking
opportunity costs ...
'Saddam the valiant brave and true'
must be weighing up the offer of exile ..
as against his staying in Iraq ... which would then be
subject to missile destruction ... that would take thousands
of years to recover from ...
Saddam right now might be calling up his parent's insurance
assessors --- checking their life expections against his
probable own ...
Would he be a HERO if he volunteer to walk peacefully away
from Bagdhad .. into the waiting arms of .. say .. George BUSH
With a parting speech to say he did it for love of his
country, for love of his people ... not forgetting 'for love
of himself'
~~~~
Saw a program on choices ... it was put the two choices
should be offered ..
The offer of exile is only one choice
Whereas what's it to be
Then that's choice -- real choice --
something to pick from.
