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?

Wasn't that a ref to the Pres of the US ...
'incompetant'
breaking down to
in-com-pet-ant
so he's alluding to the fact that the Pres is Pres of an
army of pet ants with income (independent means) ... in fact
he's the Emperor of the Ants ... and army-ants just march on
through destroying and 'taking' everything before them ...
... and Pres wants to destroy and 'take' Saddam ... throw
him on the BBQ ... roast him on the spit ... and gobble the
guy up ... yummy!
Wanderer085us knew exactly what HE meant!
The Biology of Social Predation ... the pic must be Bush,
see also battle plan of attack ... "Imagine being attacked by
a pack of 50,000 wolves. That's how an insect that finds
itself in the path of a colony of army ants feels. These tiny
soldiers are voracious predators" ... http://www.antcolony.org/Army_ants.htm

Powell to Charge Iraq Is Shifting Its Illegal Arms to
Foil Inspectors By JULIA PRESTON with STEVEN R. WEISMAN http://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/05/international/middleeast/05IRAQ.html
ends:
"Mr. Hussein, in an interview in Baghdad
with a British Socialist politician, Tony Benn, for British
television's Channel Four news, said, "There is only one
truth, and therefore I tell you as I have said on many
occasions before, that Iraq has no weapons of mass
destruction."
"The interview brought a curt response from
Mr. Powell, who was walking to his car at the United Nations
mission.
"Prove it," he said.
Questions of fact, and correct argument - are big scale
matters of life and death - and though some things are going
well - international discussion is occurring at a high level -
some things have gone very, very wrong. Given some
of the reasonable and accomodating things said by Iraq, by N.
Korea, and by the United States - it seems surreal that
conflict should seem so close - even so inevitable - in both
cases now. Things are going "surprisingly" wrong.
Is this accidental - or something that can be understood, and
fixed?
