 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?

The cradle of "The Industrial Revolution' relied on acces
to energy-water/coal to limestone and Iron.
When these primary mined inputs were all all used up ...
steel making migrated.
The mining and manufacturing later migrated too.
The cradle of The Industrial Revolution turned to service
industry and IT.
IT's migrating to India where the 'untouchables' keystroke
and communicate their way to wealth.
Everything moves changes, the players adjust.

A bbc docco on the liberation of France .... and actions
against aledged collaborators is interesting ...
1944 Paris - people were randomly accused - lynched - shot
- publicly humiliated.
A decree was made saying that anyone accusing must put
THEIR NAME and DETAILS on a form - saw an end to it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coming back to National Leaders who work for their own
click of thugs rather than the Nation.
Were they made personally-financially-responsible for
deaths (direct&indirect) and liable for compensation to
family thereof ... then ... they might be made to operate in
more humaine ways.
~~~~~~~~~
Bali - a contrast between the USA 9/11 and the Bali matter
is this :-
USA victim-dependents were afforded compensation.
whereas
The the Bali victim-dependents so far have
had none. These brutal incidents are 'funded' by
rich-miopics .... as it becomes clear regarding the lines of
funding -- then International Law should support monies being
removed from such people to be distributed amongst needy
victim-dependents ... seems fair to Bali, to Australia and all
other Countries who had losses, and to me!

The Establishment-Religions all take tythes and rents.
These have to be sourced.
The Estb-Religions in the Muslim world collect funds -
gifts, bequests, endowments etc..
In the ME the black gold has to be their source of funding.
Yet when religion gets off-beat, develish, and whacko ....
to the point where it 'bites the hand that feeds'
then the clerics and factions
have lost touch with their own reality!
The question for countries such as Saudi is --
It they can't act responsibly as the guardians of the
black gold - should other more responsible guardians be
installed. There has been no/little condemnation of
Terrorist activity by the guardians of black gold ... begging
the question ... do they condone terror ... Fisk suggests they
may be sheilding the world's most negatively-wanted man - are
they?
If they are - then what does America intend to do about it
...
The guy has destruction and mayhem on his mind ... dark
injurous scenarios ... to be played out and suffered by
'others' - elsewhere
So what does the civilized world intend to do to put an end
to him, to negativity, to inhumaine suffering ... and to his
actions that have steeply inclined each nation's 'cost of
living' ...
Pity Gisterme's not around to comment here ...
