    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.

Robert,

Here how it works: - http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030211-112807-6549r Such overt obsequiousness did not go unrewarded. Days after the common statement, the International Monetary Fund -- considered by some to be a long arm of America's foreign policy -- clinched a standby arrangement with Macedonia, the first in two turbulent years.

On the same day, Bulgaria got glowing -- and counterfactual -- reviews from yet another IMF mission, clearing the way for the release of a tranche of $36 million out of a loan of $330 million.

No end in sight...

"One Istanbul newspaper has reported Turkish military sources as saying that senior officers are reluctant to accept British troops because they fear the British "are trying to influence the Iraqi Kurds to create distrust for Ankara".

"They are a superpower, and they are attacking a small country together with other countries," said Ali Majid. "What can we do? The very idea of war is frightening, and you can see the results right here on our land of the destruction of war." - http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,894548,00.html
