 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?

Everyone agrees that :
Saddam is a bad tyranical leader -- as are others
Weapons of mass destruction ought not to be in his hands
-- he's used them to kill over and over
Human Rights and moral issues are IMPORTANT
Peaceful solutions are best
_______________
So when does 'PUSH COME TO SHOVE' - how justified?

clarification --- he's used weapons of chemical mass
destruction ...
Begging the question --- if he's regarded as a scheming
criminal then why isn't he on trial?!

"Quae cum ita sunt" Caesar's Gallic
Commentaries
Gisterme:
I have a simple test which I employ when a situation needs
to be recitified. It's the, "If I waved my magic wand."
It's a simple bipolar test which might be of use by or
maybe descriptive of Robert!
If I wave my magic wand and President Bush disappeared
would the world be a better place. Answer? No!
If I waved my magic wand and Saddam disappeared would the
world be a better place? Answer? Yes!
Am I oversimplifing? No! I've lived here in Texas and have
heard the critics who disparage Texas and Governor Bush for
the execution of criminals. Yet I hear no criticsm of the
dictators in the past 50 years who have killed millions.
MILLIONS. There was no due process in Pol Pot's killing
machine. That goes for many countries in Africa, Asia, and
even Europe, (ethnic cleansing and where was France and
Germany until America stepped in?)
Your enemy will always find a way to deflect your animus.
The propoganda of Saddam is magnificent. Just look at all the
alledged intellectuals who have been duped. That's why I
turned off Tinkers, to Evers, to Chance!
Sorry but Spring Training is underway and the first pitch
will happen in less than 6 weeks. Pass me a Baby Ruth!

Iraq cut the wheat-grain order from Australia when Howard
teamed with Bush
On seeing the people of Australia in their NO-WAR parade
Iraq re-instated the original order
(Additionally the drought broke and there may be a
harvest!)
