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?

Reading the posts of such a frightening Americans is very
strange.
Are you so coward and crasy as to be ready to kill and
destroy the surrounding you World just because someone
somewhere may do you - the 800pnd Gorilla harm?
How do you feel about your street neighbors? One of them
may be a criminal and harm you someday. Why not to kill him
now?

Britain and America's spies believe that they are being
politicised: that the intelligence they provide is being
selectively applied to lead to the opposite conclusion from
the one they have drawn, which is that Iraq is much less of a
threat than their political masters claim. Worse, when the
intelligence agencies fail to do the job, the politicians will
not stop at plagiarism to make their case, even "tweaking" the
plagiarised material to ensure a better fit. - http://news.independent.co.uk/world/politics/story.jsp?story=376732
