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?

Kurdish WOMEN in the early Nineties LOST their HUSBANDS BROTHERS SONS

killed on order of Saddam

On tangible statistical 'fact' of genocide on Iraqi people he should be 'removed' ....

this people can understand

whereas looking for the negatives of biological-chemical warfare doesn't add-up to a positive in the global popular mindset

"The Bush administration, for all its faults - is looking for solutions to problems that are real"

The problems created in a first place by whom?

Solutions to whoes benefit and at what cost and to be payed by whom?

One thing is clear - if there is a war and occupation of Iraq - the pandora box of solving the international problems this way will be open to all having the power to do so. Today its US. Tomorrow?

lchic,

If you care, I predict even more Kurds to be killed as result of this war. And not by Saddam. Rather by Turkey and US.

Rice plagiarism Iraq ....

"Iraq’s declaration," adds Ms. Rice, "even resorted to unabashed plagiarism, with lengthy passages of United Nations reports copied word-for-word, or edited to remove any criticism of Iraq, and presented as original text."
