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?

Sure in such scenario, many jewish civilians will die as Pals'
own daisy-cutters destroy IDF sites in and around Israeli cities as
Pal civilians are currently dying off due to the ligitimate IDF
operations.....but hey, at least they are all equally "collateral
damages" and we wouldn't have to worry about who committed what
terrorist acts....how about that?

JawG - really! Why don't you find a psycho who will first
eliminate your nearest and dearest - as you stand by. Then ask him
to shackle you, shoot you in legs and abdomen ... and then while
still alive you might report back to us re any emotional feelings or
pain - if you have any - then proceed to submit yourself to the
tracts of a tank or two ... with luck your foot might (as in today's
paper) be the only aspect remaining that is recognisable ... such a
pity those Israelies in Jenin couldn't reach 100% efficiency as they
pulped the old and sick!
Noting you've posted 4 times above, one assumes that the posts
prior were too interesting for the lap dog's masters to bare!

"" Amnesty alleges that the Israelis gave civilians in the
camp no opportunity to flee, and prevented the severely injured
from being rescued, leaving them to die.
Professor Derrick Pounder, forensic pathologist at Dundee
University, who visited Jenin hospital - less than a mile from the
camp - on behalf of Amnesty, was struck by the absence of severely
injured people there. Normally in such a conflict the severely
injured would outnumber the dead by three to one, he said.
"The question to the Israeli army is: where are the severely
injured?" he said. "No seriously injured persons arrived at the
hospital. We draw the conclusion that they were allowed to die
where they were."

By any reasonable definition, the fact that 19 terrorists
could slaughter 3,000 people should count as a monumental failure
of intelligence—the worst since Pearl Harbour. Besides, as one
senior Bush adviser argues, “it is not as if there were not enough
clues to be picked up for our $30 billion a year.” The World Trade
Centre was a known target; al-Qaeda people had plotted to fly
aircraft into buildings before; a suspect had been picked up
having flying lessons; and so on.

On targeting civilians.
The B52 is the "legal" wearpon of choice. Just a bit too costly
for some poor nations.
The poor can't compete with a rich one on a "legal" terms.
Q. What is uglier: The rich abusing the poor "legaly" or the poor
abusing the rich "illigaly"?
Your response, MAZZA?

On Village - Competition.
Can it be a fair competition between Rich and Poor?
What is a social price to be paid by the poor to compete with a
rich.
Why the WTO does not adress the most critical trade issue of
access to DISTRIBUTION channels.
The Wal-Mart can buy the poor country goods for pennies and sell
for $$$. Because it OWNS the MARKET - the capital, the
transportation, the warehouses, the advertisement. What poor country
can establish the comparable channel? Even Russia or Ukraine can't.
May be China will try. And as it does, will see what is going to
happen in this country.
This is just one of the "technical" problems for the Village to
adress. But as I have mentioned before, there are a lot of much more
serious ones.
