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?

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click
"rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have done and worked for
on this thread.
We're in a situation where a lot of things are dangerous
and unstable. With some more care - and some checking of
facts to closure - - the big concerns and risks we face
could be adressed and solved much more effectively than they
will be without people taking the time to be sure of what they
may reasonably think.
Our objective must be to make human circumstances better,
not worse -- less muddled, not more.
I deeply appreciate this thread.
This thread goes back a long while - and my experience with
the NYT goes back even longer. Cooper asked me to post some
specific words yesterday - and I'll be posting them.
And posting some other things. Perhaps I owe
gisterme , and George Johnson a partial apology
as well. I think perhaps not.
Context counts. Motivation counts. Issues of fact -and the
fact counts that both deception and repression (in every
sense) exists. I'll be referring again to posts 509-510-511 on
this thread from November 10, 11 2000 - the first two by me -
referring to NYT doings that haven't been disputed - 511 by

If the UN Security Council does its job - does as well as
it did last time - I believe that that will make the future
much safer and better than it could be otherwise.

Bill Farren-Price IRAQ
"" There is a myth in the west, mainly promulgated by the
US, that Iraqi oil production would increase dramatically if
there were a regime change. In fact, it's going to take years
of major investment to get it back to the levels that existed
before the first Gulf war. And because oil is the lifeblood of
Iraq, this means it will take years for stability to return to
the country, no matter what government replaces ...

"Andrew Gilligan said that a senior military figure had
confirmed that the Army had been told to prepare for a "very
long presence indeed in Iraq".
"Some military figures are said to be starting to grumble
about the prospect of the US going in to do the fighting and
then leaving the UK and other European countries to pick up
the pieces."
