 Science
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?

Yes, that is OK. Rest assured, Gallium Arsenides will
protect your beloved NMD networks, Awacs, Integrated
Battlegroups, etc etc etc...........so not to worry.
Everything will be OK and you can keep on carrying on.

Re Iraq
What is the response to the Bush-Questionnaire that's
potentially circulating ...
Qu 1000$ "As an Iraqi are you happy to be bombed"
Yes /
No
BUSH pressConf says
Is that true?
Did he read it off a page?
Are 'his father',
JohnMajor, Chenney, Rummy et al concerned re their
stocks with Carlyle &/or Military investments
Did
Powell - or this board - or someone|thing get to Bush
Did
'peace' come to him in a dream
Does he know what the word
'peace' implies
Did he 'read the lips' of a dove of peace?
Will he forget he said this in the New Year and then bomb
Iraq?
