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?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY???
Star Witness on Iraq Said Weapons Were Destroyed
Bombshell revelation from a defector cited by White House and
press - Star Witness on Iraq Said Weapons Were Destroyed
Bombshell revelation from a defector cited by White House and
press http://www.fair.org/press-releases/kamel.html
After devoting thousands of network hours and oceans of ink
to stories about "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq, major
U.S. news outlets did little but yawn in the days after the
latest Newsweek published an exclusive report on the subject
-- a piece headlined "The Defector's Secrets."
It's hard to imagine how any journalist on the war beat
could read the article's lead without doing a double take:
"Hussein Kamel, the highest-ranking Iraqi official ever
to defect from Saddam Hussein's inner circle, told CIA and
British intelligence officers and U.N. inspectors in the
summer of 1995 that after the Gulf War, Iraq destroyed all its
chemical and biological weapons stocks and the missiles to
deliver them." http://www.fair.org/media-beat/030227.html

Iraq | sanctions - shortages - skill and ingenuity
Asked about recent comments by US Secretary of State Colin
Powell, that Iraq is guilty of hiding weapons of mass
destruction, Firas explodes with anger.
FIRAS: All of the Iraqi said to Mr Powell, go to the hell.
One word. All the Iraqi said to Mr Powell go to the hell.
We're clean, we're clean, we're clean. I repeat it, we're
clean.

As Mr Roh spoke of a peaceful resolution to the crisis,
thousands of people rallied in central Seoul calling for a
tough stance against the communist state.
The rare anti-North Korea and pro-US rally in the heart of
the capital came three months after much larger crowds staged
angry protests against the United States in a groundswell that
helped the dovish Roh win a close presidential election.
About 20,000 mostly elderly and conservative protesters
said South Korea must seek peace through strength and firm up
its military alliance with the United States.

US State Department spokesman Richard Boucher says North
Korea continues to flout international law.
"North Korea has taken a series of steps in the wrong
direction," he said.

Football Crazy? http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,905389,00.html
Saif's team is Al-Nafid, the Oil team. Their opponents
yesterday, Irbil, are the best Kurdish side in Iraq's national
league.
The country may be divided into two distinct chunks, but
Kurdish and Iraqi sides play each other most weekends.
To reach Irbil, the Baghdad players had to travel across a
reinforced Iraqi frontline, past freshly dug army trenches
filled with oil, and up into the mountains of Kurdistan.
.... Football remains hugely popular in Iraq, and is one of
the few pastimes that appears to unite the country's ethnic
and religious factions.
