    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.

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
