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?

"Total control... Muslim clerics... Advanced West... What's wrong with Muslims?..."

Consider:

The most blodiest empires

The most blodiest wars

The most dreadful anti-human behaving nations

The origins of Racism, Nazim, Totalitarism

The origins and usage of the most devastating and dangerous wearpons

The doctrine of Total War.

LOOK IN THE MIRROR, PLEASE.

Al Rawi's children, like all children here, must learn to live in the new Iraq: a suddenly unpredictable and treacherous place where armed gangs overrun familiar neighborhoods, unexploded munitions speckle favorite playgrounds, and poverty and disease that had been gnawing at the nation before the war now thrive.

"Parents have a reason to be afraid for their children," said Rafah Kishtin, the principal of Ragat's school. "There is no security in Iraq anymore. If somebody comes to shoot us, we can do nothing to protect ourselves."

Nothing is the way it used to be. Nowhere is safe anymore.

HOW THE WESTERN POLITICAN WOULD BE GREETED IF BROUGHT SUCH "ACHEVEMENT" TO HIS OWN COUNTRY?

SUPER-RACISM AND NEO-COLONIALISM, THE LAW OF GUNS AND BIG MONEY IS HERE AND NOW!
