    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?

Read Debates, a new Web-only feature culled from Readers' Opinions, published every Thursday.

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?

Was it a time since vietnam war, the US found itself in such a shameful isolated and discredited position?

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

"The Lord Mayor of London will visit three Gulf states this week to try to persuade wealthy Arab investors not to withdraw their cash from London in the event of an attack on Iraq by American and British forces.-
