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?

Iraq (MP UK) Don't kill innocents!
Ms Short said: "We cannot have another Gulf war. We cannot
have the people of Iraq suffering again. They have suffered
too much. That would be wrong."
Her remarks follow those of Robin Cook, Leader of the
Commons, who warned Tony Blair not to back unilateral US
military action.
Mr Blair's attempts to build a consensus within the Commons
will be further frustrated by the publication of an
inconclusive dossier of evidence on Iraq's weapons of mass
destruction.
Government insiders admit the document will neither link
Saddam Hussein's regime to al-Qa'ida and the 11 September
terror attacks nor prove that he has a nuclear bomb. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/politics/story.jsp?story=335402
